I did it the easy way. I swapped out the dash for a Dakota Digital dash and used the OBD2 interface to get the speed, tac, oil pressure, water temp, alternator. All I had to do for the dash is wire in about 6 wires for brakes, Check engine, turn signals, lighting, fuel, power, ground. Not as hard as I thought. The dash came with all the sensors to tie into the engine but I really didn't want to deal with running more wires through the firewall.

I will officially get the car on the road in a few days but so far, everything works. All the gears work, reverse works, speed sensor works, dash works, heater works. I am currently working on getting the AC up and running. Wasting way to much on wrong AC fittings. That's basically the whole swap. Wasted so much money on excess parts including buying the wrong harness kit.
