I'd like to do the same.
Cluster swap/upgrade isn't too hard. It's a half day project. If your K5 wasn't equipped with a tach originally you need to plan where to route the tach harness - I've drilled the 0.75" firewall hole in the correct spot, it's easy and there are a few threads dedicated to this. Use a line wrench to loosen the oil pressure line if so equipped in order to avoid stripping the brass. Good time to swap steering column too if that's on the menu. If you need a tach/vac cluster check with Tbone Tom as he provides a good service.
