3.8 gagues in a 3.4

[Equis]

Yes I have already posted this in appearence but I wasn't sure if it belonged there or here [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I was just wondering if it's possible to put the new 3.8 gagues in a 3.4 and how to do it

[stagen]

What do you mean by new? As in after 1997? Different dash set from what I have seen behind the gauge

[Equis]

hmmm, I haven't seen what the 96-97 gagues look like...would it be impossible to switch over to the 98+?

[stagen]

I don't think it's possible. They gauge displays change from 97 to present and are controlled different I believe.

[Equis]

yeah, I thought so...specially with the trip tac. all digital...are the 96-97 gagues still that greenish color when they are lit?

hey stagen.

equis and i were talkin bout this a weekend or so ago..and the thot came up to put the 120mph guages in a 3.4. would give you a better idea of how fast you were goin if you removed the speed limiter.

if you had a 95-96 guage set, you could probably do it seeing as how the camaro from 1993-1996 had the same interior design. once the 97's came around, the whole cluster changed to a digital odometer and looked more like the firebird dashboard.

ahhhh, I thought the interior changed in 98, and I meant the trip odometer hehe [img]tongue.gif[/img]

also, it's not only the being able to see speed...I just really don't how my gagues look at night wich is why I was asking about putting blue lightbulbs in before ;)

Just get the 150 MPH gauge set from a 93-96 Z-28. They are on Ebay all the time. It's a direct fit. This picture here is of my Z gauges http://www.v6camaro.com/z28.htm (scroll down the page) They were in my 3.4L before. Since my Z came with the touring package it only had a 110 MPH gauge set so I swapped them with my 3.4L

Yes, worked just fine and I even rolled the odometer to match the actual mileage on teh car :)

[Equis]

nice, but how did you get the tac to work??

[stagen]

The tach worked fine, may have been a tad off but basically it was ok.

[Equis]

hmm, how did you calabrate it?

btw, I love your gagues ;), what's McErwan's website?
