Boss 302 Speedometer Swap
 
Anyone know if this is possible into a regular GT and what would be needed to calibrate it?

No offense but you have the weirdest mod priority I've ever seen. lol

None taken. Was just seeing if it were possible and what would be needed for this :)

I think its doable just swap in the gauges and have the dealer re-program everything. I'm sure taking the dash apart is no fun task.

I think it would be pretty cool. Not sure why the 5.0s didn't come with that speedo to begin with.

I want to swap in a 2011-2012 Premium cluster in my car. Time to scan some junk yards

He didn't install an actual Boss gauge cluster, but just had replica gauge faces made. A real Boss gauge cluster is $1300....

I'm trying to find a 2011-2012 premium gauge cluster right now that I can swap into my car....

Sorry if i wasn't clear, this is not a real boss 302 gauge set in the thread linked. Rather a face plate swap.
For 90% less of a price vs genuine ford part, i don't think you can go wrong with this route.

Would probably require some cutting if you have track apps, otherwise it could be done.

Hmm that's all I want is the look plus don't have to re program any of the gauges

Why? The oil pressure, water temp and voltmeter are there just for looks. They don't EVER move during operation.

Pretty sure the speedo would need to be programmed because the mph spacing would be different. Where it reads 80mph on our cars it would read 100mph on those speedos I believe.

A fellow Mustang guy at work says that since the entire cluster may be one piece it may be kind of difficult to swap the mileage.
