Can I use a C5 Vette instrument cluster with my ls1 swap? Heres the plan:
I want to take the VERY inexpensive dash gauge cluster from a 97-02 Like in the picture below. And im going to mount it in my stock C4 vette dash with my own fabrication. The back of the cluster has a 8 pin and a 10 pin wire connection
Now I really want the speedo/tach/oil/volt gauges to work, can i wire those to the pcm?? Also how can i make the corvette information display (that has all the digital words and readouts for the aspects of the car) to work, how do i make this work?

Re: Can I use a C5 Vette instrument cluster with my ls1 swap? You should be able to use the cluster,just have to track down the connecters or a harness.I got an LS1 from a 2001 camaro and am going to use the cluster from the same car.Seems the inexpensive way to monitor the engine(oil,temp,volt)plus get a 155 mph speedo.
I ordered the service manuals for a 2001 camaro so I can read up on description of operation for the components I wish to use.I beleive the manuals will have all the diagrams you will need.Or if you explain the situation to one of the techs at your local dealer,they may print out some info for you.Guys at my chevy dealer have been helpful so far.
Good luck

Re: Can I use a C5 Vette instrument cluster with my ls1 swap? Im not a big fan of the factory dash what soever....
The look of a c5 vette dash is about the best ive seen.
So i merely need to track down all the wires and hook it up?
