They are different animals.You'll need a cluster from a Sport or Turbo Coupe for buttstuffog gauges (or Cougar equivalent).I have seen after market gauges used as well.

Not to steal the thread but can you swap the digital cluster for the buttstuffog cluster like in a turbocoupe?

Proof?

I'd love to see how a Mustang cluster designed around a square airbag column fits in our round-column cars. Please, indulge us with photos.

The stang cluster will not fit.
Someone on here has installed a complete dash and cluster from an sn95 but, that was pure hell from what i heard.
As stated above you need the tc or sport buttstuffog clusters then just change the wiring pins around and it will work.
You can go from buttstuffog to digital or the other way around,see coolcats tech section.
