Default LS dash/display

I have a 68 nova with a connect and cruise ls3/4L65e. I'm looking for suggestions for a dash or display for rpm/ speed/temp/ gear if possible. I could do a elm327 and Bluetooth to a little tablet, but wondering about other options. I thing the edge cts? may do what I want also. I think a racepak can interface also, but expensive if I remember right. I have the big holley digital dash in my race car and love it, but I don't think they will interface with the gm ls ecu.

Any suggestions?

Dakota Digital may be a possibility. You could also do various brands of individual gauges depending on what you're looking for stylistically and financially.

You can't go wrong with Dakota digital. They make a very nice dash. If your on a tight budget the Intellitronix create a dash system is cool. I built one for my sons truck and he loves it.

I was looking at Speed Hut gauges. They hook up to the ECM and get vitals that way.

I am using the Dakota Digital VHX gauges with their OBD2 BIM module. WOrks great and most of the readings come off of the PCM. Works well!

Did you end up trying the speedhut stuff? I'm looking at the Freedom can bus series and I'm liking them the most of what I've seen. I called them yesterday to see if they knew if anybody had used them with the gm connect and cruise ls3 and If they were able to get all the data. Was told they will work with "anything" I do have wires on 6 and 14 so I figure I'm good. looks like the non gps speedo can be calibrated also to account for gear and tire.

I was going to say Dakota Digital for direct fit, but 1968 isn't referenced as a gauge set they produce...
