Default Keeping Foxbody Gauges

high gents, I am really set on keeping my fox looking stock on the inside just as well as the outside. Ive been talking to a few "local" speed shops to see if they could wiring the car up for me but they are saying "it can not be done" when ive seen it on the forum. All i want know is HOW. are you using the LS harness as a stand alone?

I have a LM7 with a 4l60E sitting in the car as of now. I WILL be converting over to a t-56 eventually & this will be "daily driver"

Thanks in advance.

its really a matter of adapting the stock sending units to the new motor and locating the wires for said gauges in the harness
