datsunlover Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 Ok.. there HAS do be a few opinions on this.. Im gona go ford 351w in my 280z. Would it be easier to just replace all my guages with aftermarket (sunpro.. with Auto meter stickers.. Im on a budget here..) or try to make the stock guages work? I pretty sure the tach would be usable.. spedo would be off (mis-read) , but I could 'rig' it to the ford AOD trans.. and posibly figure out the wiring for the ammeter.. ok; what about the temp and fuel combo guage? A thought I had was block/cover the temp. part (piece of plastic or something..) and mount the thing somewhere else (down by the shifter in a custom housing maybe?) then just replace the amm/oil.p and clock with 3 new guages.. Anyone got ALL their stock guages working with a V8 swap? Or did you guys just replace evrything? I'd like to maintain a 'stock' look.. but if it's gona be a huge PITA I could just replace them all.. but i'd have to do them ALL as I want it to match/look decent..
