    Default vs v8 exec to vs stato swap help

    Hi, my cousin is thinking about doing the above swap.

    From searching i have found most of what needs to be swaped over.

    I am wondering about the dashes and climate control.
    The stato has climate control, i would think that it doesnt get touched at all while doing the conversion so it shouldnt be a problem.'
    From searching i know that the tachos are different(havent looked at the dashes so i dont know if the exec has a tacho)-if the exec has a tacho can it go in the stato dash?

    Also the exec is manual, will that cause too many hassles?

    Cheers Shane

    better off buying a cheap stat'o and doing a motor swap.Changing a exec to a full stat'o set-up is harder then most think,changing seats,door trims and dash is easy enough but putting in the body harness,getting climate in and other things that require sensers. Power windows is another fun job.
    Exec being a manual is fine,between the 2 consoles you can make up a nice 1 to suite the manual and have the stat'o good look
