Look at it this way....... NOPE! Man it sucks alot. you eather get to spend 300 bucks on the electric to cable drive or get an eletric one that dosn't fit the dash and requires lots of fab work..... I am in the same boat so for now I will not run with a spedo.. I am going to keep looking..

Another option is to get an electric speedo (new/used) and stick it under your dash.......

Its real easy to run w/o speedo.

Borrow a cheap GPS and in 2-3 days you will know your speed exactly with the tach.

For me with 3.90s and 25.5" tire-

4th = 20 mph for every 1000 rpm
6th = 40 mph for every 1000 rpm (IE 2000 rpm = 80mph)
