I saw this on another forum, I thought it was pretty cool.

 

That's actually a 4th gen Camaro dash. 97-02 to be exact. He just replaced the "Camaro" badge above the radio with the Monte Carlo one. Very well done though that's for sure.

 

Ok, I got confused on that part because my 4th gen Camaro's dash looked nothing like that, so I assumed it was a montes. Oops haha.

 

Yeah the 93-96 dash looked different. I had a 96 but I've also driven a few later 4th gens. The 5th gen Monte dash doesn't have near that amount of information. Just fuel and coolant temp and I don't think they even have a tach (some might though). They certainly don't have oil pressure or voltometer. The 150 mph speedometer should have been a dead giveaway as well. They used a 98+ Z28 gauge (which work perfectly with the LS1 PCM of course)

 

That actually looks really good. I wonder how hard it was to do that. Most 3rd-4th gen dashes are trashed and I don't know of any repops for it. My Monte needs a dash too.

 

I guess I just didn't look enough. I've only been in a 5th gen once and I forgot most have the wood and strips on it. I'm going to assume he found a wrecked Camaro and pulled the engine, tranny, dash, center console and all from it.

Also, I think what threw me off was the steering wheel.

 

I would assume you would just need to make a few brackets to hold it up inside.

 

That does look pretty good

 

I know it can be done on the 2nd gen Camaros as well. If I recall correctly. a new hole for the HVAC vent had to be cut in the firewall on the Camaro. I don't know how ideal that setup would be for a non- modern EFI motor. Keep in mind these instrument clusters are fed all their information from the ECM and it's plugged in through a single plug on the side of the instrument cluster.

Enzo, the steering wheel is straight out of the Camaro as well. The LS1 Zs had that type wheel with those radio controls. He pulled everything out of the donor car. Really well done.

 

You mean the ls1 camaros had steering wheel controls too?
