digital dash

i've been wanting to install the full digital dash in my 86 cougar. right now i have the stock digital spedo, but everything else is buttstuffog. how hard is it to install? i was told the xr7 had the full digital dash cluster.

in order to go full digital, you'll have to swap in the fuel, oil, and most likely the temp senders for the full digital, as the base digi, and the buttstuffogue are all seperate from each other...myself, i'd recommend the buttstuffogue out of a Sport or TC...i've done it myself, it's easy :D
Plus, good luck even finding a full digital, much less the fuel sender for the tank....

hmm I am sure that I could find all of the parts needed, but just pulling the gas tank out would deter me from doing it anyways.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.
