Default 88 instrument panel

the instrument panel in my 88 consists of a speedo, a fuel gauge and idiot lights. i want to change it out for a panel of all gauges and an rpm gauge. is this possible and has anyone done it?

It is done all the time just a simple swithing of the two is all that is required. No special wiring or other harness is required.

you will have to change two sensors on the motor. the oil pressure sendure unit right by the oil filter. and the temp sensor on the far back of the head on the driver side it has 1 wire that runs in to it.
