It has been done. I'm sure that someone will chime in soon with the info you need.
Here is a pic I found but I do not know who the owner is:
While you are at it why not install this purple carbon fiber kit too?

Here's an old thread talking about the conversion and includes some pictures. Do a search, there are a ton of threads about the same issue.

The factory manual tells you all the output signals for the gauges. You should check that against what components you're putting in so your readings are accurate.
There is no kit, except for the Dakota digital, which is a joke for one of these cars, being already digital, and way better than the Dakota unit.
