Alright so the guy I bought my 86 off of has a bunch of fox parts. I was wondering what all would have to be changed to swap my dash from the 86 model 85 mph gauge cluster to the 87-93 140 mph cluster? I know the bezel cover would have to be changed, I was just wondering what else...any input appreciated. Thanks.

Have you ever tried to pull the dash off a mustang ?

I did it to replace a heater core.

I`d rather go to the dentist.

You can send your existing speedo to BBK and they can reface & recalibrate it to 140 if that's the reason you're wanting to do the swap. If you're doing the swap for the looks, then you'll have to switch the sender in the tank to an '87 up one and wire up the volt gauge (instead of amps). I haven't done the swap, just what I can think of off the top of my head.

Would an 87+ cluster even fit in an 86 dash/steering column?
