Might be hard to find the few guys that know the answer ... and then the odds of them seeing this post.
Many Ford parts assemblies are similar in design. Try looking at a cluster out of a Stang in the wrecking yard and then locate a wiring schematic for both vehicles to compare if the wire leads run to the same places. If the tach plug, speedo cable clamp etc is the same, you should be in business.
The only other concern I would have is that the mechanical mechanism that spins the speedo needle is calibrated for the same rpm ratio as your Bird.
Don't know if this helps any, but your post seemed lonely.
BTW ... you drive over 85 a lot?
