Re: Any Dash Ideas
This is just an edit I did in MS paint, but I'm having a real 160 mph speedometer and 10k tach made for my '66.

Re: Any Dash Ideas
It will look just like that, with an air gauge added in the left pod for my air bags' tank.

Re: Any Dash Ideas
I didn't see where anyone mention they 'needed' a 10K tach?? Some guys like the 10K display; others don't. I don't care for a 200mph speedo range when I know I won't come near it. Same for the tach; 8K will do for me & even that's excessive....

The engine will be a LS2 with ported LS3 heads, four Weber IDA's on an Inglese manifold, solid lifter cam, shaft mount rocker, larger diameter pushrods, etc. It will redline around 8500 rpm so an 8K tach wouldn't be adequate. I'll also be taking the truck to open track practice days and with around 650 hp it won't have a problem making use of the 160 mph speedometer on bigger tracks... So in this case I do need a 10K tach. I had a guy build the 10k tach to fit in a stock cluster, still waiting on the speedo lens to be printed.
