I have been thinking about this myself.

I donno if you would convert via the factory sensors, but I am sure it can be done with the autometer sensors and such... the wiring would be a bit scary...

but the end result would be way cool!

Yes you can. All the Analog Gauges on the dash are directly wired to the sensors.. You should be able to get the Autometer gauges that work on the stock sensors.. or use the Autometer sensors and stock Wiring.

I think the fuel gauge and Speedo will need to be wired from the CCM. I am not sure on the fuel gauge though. it has been a while since i looked at the cluster wiring.

The tough part will be getting everything to fit in the Cluster space

Here is an example for the 89-older C4 http://www.batee.com/corvette/dcrg/replace.shtml

Here's what I'm doing in my '85:

Definitely lots of work (I'm rebuilding nearly the whole car though).
I like the way it's turning out so far.
