Default Hybrid help needed.

Folks, as soon as I get my car (95 Mustang) back from the body shop I plan to start the LS-1 swap. As such my question is this - Does anyone know where or how I can get the stock Mustang gauges to work? Is there anyone that specializes in adapting these types of items? This is not my first go around regarding hybrids (www.jamescarswell.net) but it is my first in trying to adapt factory gauges as I usually use Autometer gauges. Thanks for any and all help is advance. Cheers !!!

I can't really help much, but I have one suggestion. If I were you I'd get rid of the stock dummy oil pressure and water temp gauges. As you probably know, they don't really function as gauges and only move the needle if the reading isn't within normal ranges.
