Look in the tech info and modifying sub-sections.

You're welcome :)

On the '88 3.8, there's a difference in fuel lines, where they enter the engine bay. If you wish to keep the factory lines, you'll have to get creative and mate up a short piece for each line to connect to the hard lines on the efi engine lines.

I was going to to do this to mine, but bought a Sport instead.

As for the gauges, that's ridiculously easy, Acquire buttstuffog cluster, repin the needed wires. install. enjoy.

I did it, and if I can, anyone can lol
