Need advice and info on doing this......
It should. You'll need to do some re-wiring and swap out most of the sending units though.
Why do you want to swap it out? The digital dash is pretty cool. My Thunderbird has one and I like it.
just inquiring, haven't decided yet......
I'm fairly sure some senders are different(99% on fuel) and the plug on rear likely as well...
While I can sympathize over the Star Wars cluster, probably a bigger PITA to swap than it's worth... You really need to refer to the '87 EVTM for differences...
Please refer to this handy-dandy pre-made document: ;)

Oil and temp switches need swapped to sending units. Fuel gauge will read opposite without some voodoo…I think jcassity here did some investigating on that.
I want to gut the stock buttstuffog cluster eventually. installing a trip computer gives you 90% of the functionality of the full digital cluster.
Eric, i was looking to swap a v8 cluster for a v8 cluster, digital to buttstuffog swap. The link is for a TC swap is it the same?
Yes, the tach will need nothing also. Wiring should be the same as in that document.
All except for a couple extra lights on the TC cluster, boost gauge and tach calibration... Only the half motor tach would have any bearing on the swap...
well, I was hoping the DR would send me a normal sendor to piddle with,, yes you are right, this task needs completed.
I would like to know if it can be flipped to read the other way regardless of the total resistance differences
