chevelle digital dash

I am in the process of doing a ls swap on a 69 chevelle and I am wanting to put in a digital dash. I am running the holley EFI and I was wanting to use the holley or race pak dash integrated into the factory dash. Anyone done this or know of anybody who has. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for everybodys help in this. I was not really wanting to use the dakota digital but if i had too. Really wanting to see some examples of the holley dash being put in a factory dash.

Presumably the stock dash insert would have to be remade completely. How else do you go from two large circles to a single rectangle.

On my Cougar I got a split collar and welded a plate to it and bolted the Holley dash to that. Then clamped it to the steering column. Not very pretty but works..

I like the look of the Dakota digital, but the price! And then you have to still buy a lot of accessories to make it fully functional.
