I believe that they're different for some reason...

Plug on the back probably diffetent too then hey
Maybe, though when looking online for VT SS clusters, sometimes they say "304" and other times they say "LS1" so I'm assuming they're different but I could be wrong... I'll give @lout a shoutout as he seems to frequent the VT/VX section quite a bit, and we'll see his opinion...

Nope.
Just the programming of the cluster.
Whether its v6, v8 5 litre or v8 ls1 (I think l remember differences between the 2 v8s?). Then there is programming for the airbags & abs, traction control.
There is other stuff the cluster can be programmed for. But its very minor.

Can a general auto sparky do that do you think or someone specialized?

Depends on there scanners (tools)?

You can do it yourself with @envyouscustoms cable & software. Thats what l used.
Here's a link.

Check with Jason to see what cable you need? I'm not sure with the LS1 stuff?

Its very easy to use too. There is a video too. So be sure to check it out.
