97+ dash in a 95?
97+ dash in a 95? I'm just wondering if anyone who has done this swap has any particular write up for how to do it.
I know there's a write up for a 1997+ into a 96, but obviously the wiring a lot closer since that's OBD2->OBD2.
BTW, right now I'm just "dreaming" about this mod so I haven't looked too closely at it.

96-speed did the swap on his 96 several years back, I don't think it being obdII is going to play much in to it, most if not all the stuff should apply since the 96s had the same dashes as 94 and 95. OBDII doesn't really factor in to how the radios, hvac or head lamps are wired up. Given as how old these cars have gotten, I would go for it, you can find deals on most any thing used and there are plenty out there to choose from.
So would I but mabye he has enough of them to keep him happy for now and wants an interior update 
I want to swap a firebird dash into my car. I think they look alot cleaner and I have to look at it all of the time so it might as well be nice
I'd like some more into on the swap too. I know it can be done, but how hard is it?

you will need the plug that goes to the cluster from a trans am or a 97 camaro and splice it in.....
BE SURE if you get the '97-'02 dash to get the plastic A/C ducting that attatches to the back of the dash or you WILL have issues!
you will also need to extend the fog lamp harness from the drivers side to the stereo pod and the truck release button will move from the glove box to the lower dash panel that is mounted above your knees..
I managed to do my conversion in 4 hours but i was non-stop with no interuptions.
I helped put a Firebird dash in a 96 Camaro but before the car could be driven it was stolen and never seen again we might have a few pictures it really did look good.
Personally if I ever get up the courage to do it again I will use the firebird dash.

Well right now I'm building a blower motor, so I think I will be good on performance mods for the time being.

Damn that looks like alot of work, but I do prefer the look of the 97 - up dash and gauge layout better that the 93-96. However if I swap a 97 - up dash and cluster how do I get the odometer to work since the 97-up is digital and recorded in the pcm?
It's not really a hard swap to do - just time consuming. The thing that ticked me off the most during the swap was the inverted screws - you'd be looking at the TIP of the screw instead of the head of it.
Here's a good writeup on CarDomain that helped me with converting the wiring from my 94 to a 97+ gauge cluster:

Dave,
Thats actually a 00+ wheel, the Firebirds got the updated style wheel in 95, the Camaros got a new wheel for the 00 model year. They look damn near identical minus the logos on the air bag.
My 93 had a factory camel colored interior, never liked it. I ended up converting every thing to graphite.

This winter I'm going to try to fund a firebird interior swap into my car. The dash in the birds looks soo much better I cant take it anymore LOL. Then I can delete my AC box and replace my heater core without too much trouble.
When doing a firebird dash swap do I need the bird heater box or just the vent tubes?
