I'll use the stock gauges, so a bit of design work there. I figured out how to keep the stock ignition switch and foot starter. I'll look at everything else on the wiring diagram, I'd like to eliminate the bulkhead connector if I can. I'll look into building a drive for the speedometer too.

I think it's Bob's Speedometer in Michigan that can do the electric to mechanical speedo conversion. I've talked to them a bit but not gone any further than that. It's around $250 IIRC but something I don't know if I could make on my own without some study!
