Instead of going with traditional digital gauges, I'm considering running the Holley Pro Dash in my '81 LS swap. I plan to use Holley Terminator X for the wiring and computer, and I figured a Holley dash would just make things simple and allow me to see more information.
I know there are no drop in bezels for the C3, so I'm curious to see if anyone has ever ran the all digital screen, and what it looks like in the C3.

I haven’t done it yet, but one day (when I can afford a 2.5k screen lol) I’m gonna install the Holley 12.3” dash. I knowRevision Raceworks makes a custom drop in 3d printed bezel with the AC cutout installed. They don’t list the price, so you have to call them to get it custom, so I’m sure it’s wayyy overpriced for something 3d printed made of $10 worth of materials… Honestly I’d just ask them if you can buy the STL file and pay someone else to print it for you, but their dash is always an option.
It was over a grand for the dash,.I have it. They are custom order only and it's two pieces. They actually don't like to make it as it's a very complicated piece and you have to ask nicely. I'm not kidding.

A grand?! Damn, that’s insane!
Since making this post, I learned about Revision, so I may go with them. I have an ‘81, and the 12” dash is only for 68-77, so I can’t go with that. But they make a drop in got the 6” model that I might go with.
Hoping the 6” isn’t too small…but damn would that 12” be nice 😅
I have the 6.86 and the 7. The quality is VERY different. The 6.86 is nice and it's useable. The 7 is if you are on a budget but all 3 serve the purpose. Just depends how much you want to spend and custom you want to get.
In all honesty if you're not doing a true custom car and interior get some Dakota gauges or auto meters and move on. If that grand shocks you for the dash you're not ready to pay to play. No offense

I already bought the 6.86” so I’ll definitely be doing that. If the 77-81 dash could fit a 12”, I almost certainly would’ve gone with that, but it contacts the steering column pretty bad and puts it at an unusable angle. I did an LS swap with Holley Terminator X, so I figured the Pro Dash would be best.
I’m not so much shocked that it cost $1000 for a dash, but more so that Revision charges $1000, when the 77-82 version is like $250.
The 6.86 is literally the baby 12 and has an advantage with the built warning lights / turn signal lights which the 12 doesn't have. Other than that they are identical in function. The 7 is a different beast and not worth the price new. I got mine used for a lot less.
