Stock gauge cluster with a V8

[Billabob]

I'm currently in the early stages of mapping out the wiring for my V8 swap and have a strong preference to keep the interior looking as original as possible. It is a renix system currently. It seems like the speedometer shouldn't be an issue since it runs off of the transfer case. The fuel gauge and battery gauge won't be affected. The oil pressure and temp gauge should swap over easily which leaves the tach. The new motor has two coils, each firing 4 cylinders. Has anyone successfully made this work? I wouldn't be opposed to switching to the OBD cluster as well if its easier, despite the cost.

You can use the tach adapter from Dakota digital. It will adapt pretty much any engine configuration with any gauge input. Obd2 dashes are a pain to deal with as you need to get the canbus signal from the ecu
