You could easily have a business on your hands with not just these, but other classic vehicles that are popular with LSX swaps.
The problem is they're labor intensive. If I was to charge by the hour to convert one for sombody, by the time I was done, you could have bought a set of new aftermarket gauges. You only make this practicle if you do it yourself, which is why I do it.

The needle is at the 120mph mark, if I removed it, I'm sure it would go past it, but I'm probably not going to want to go 130mhp in my old truck!
