Sorry I can not help but if you find a kit please post the information because no one else has been able to find one. Like I said in the other post ever thread I have followed ended up with a custom made dash. Do your power windows and door locks work? I have seen mixed inputs on this. We had one guy say they work fine after the swap and two others that said they all needed rewired.

The swap is so rare the only supporting part I am aware of is the BMR Kmember. I think that is for drag race cars and very similar to there LT1 Kmember so they do not need custom tooling.

For the speedo, you need to use a DC generator to convert cable drive to an electronic signal. Scroll down to almost the middle of the page, look for item #350E: Speedometer Gear, Speedometer Gears, Ford, GM, Dodge 700R4

Is that going to help him? I thought these 4th gens speedos ran directly off the PCM not from speed sensor. Basically the speedometer is just a dumb needle and the PCM converts the signal apply the tire and rear ratio.

They are calling it a factory electronic speedometer conversion, but it's complete compatibility would be a good question to ask tech help at PATC.

I found another kit on ebay for 700r4 remember guys that tranny has the tail shaft on it ,an it set up for machanical now ,I also found a 1993 camaro cluster ,its got 94.000 that's close to mine I guess it would just be a cable ,I guess it going to depend on wich one take the least amount of time to install couse the price is about the same ,seem replace the cluster will be more labor,will see what works seen what does not ,these swaps may rare hear ,but there getting more popular all the time with the restricted engines
