Does anyone know if there is a way to use an air bag equiped 140 speedo in a pre-air bag 87 stang? Ive seen the airbag mustang speedo for sale way less then a non air bag. Has anyone figured out a way to make it fit?

Should fit for the most part. May/should require some trimming like said above.

This is one of the reasons I bought the 89 model. For me, its the best year to have.

Yes, like was said, if you are just swapping the speedo mechanism part of the cluster, you can do it, but it does require some trimming, cutting, filing, and drilling of a new locator hole. I put one from a 92 GT in my 87 cluster. It took me about 15 min to adjust it to fit the 87 cluster. It fits, but the color and texture are a bit different and the turn signal arrows are different sizes.

As for the whole cluster, it will fit also, but almost all of the wiring is different, so you would have to rewire the connectors to match the newer cluster.
