Default 97+ dash in 87

will a 97+ dash fit in a 87? I really like the 97+ dash and interior. If so, what type if mods will be needed?

Never done it but taking a wag at it id say its a PITA.

Heres the only thing I could find on it and it talks about moving ducts etc.

you have to build some mounts for the dash and cut out some old im pretty sure.......to get the guages to work you would need the entire wire harness and computer, sensors, manifolds thorottle body, from the 97+.............better if you have a wrecked donor vehicle to make it all work.

I may just buy a 97+ and sell the 87. Sounds like a mission. I def will not do this haha. Or i can keep the 87 and green sticker it.
