Thanks for responding Mike.Isn't this already done on the t56 tailshaft housings?Looks like someone would try the 4l60e-4l80e,anyone?

I ordered Dakota VHX analog gauges for my SS cluster and couldn't be happier. After reviewing all the other options and the high costs for some sort of adapter coupled with the fact a car with an ls swap clearly isn't super strict on "looking original" it was an easy choice for me.

I enjoy the gauges and their special features a lot more than I would knowing I spent several hundred dollars just to make the dimly lit stock stuff work. Selling the stock SS gauges also offset a nice chunk of the cost.
