Default Dumb Question - C6 cluster in C5?

Totally random and dumb question. I'm not seeking to do it, but saw a C6 cluster for sale and the question popped into my mind.... if so many other things on C5s are interchangeable, can the clusters be installed too?

I wager they might fit in place but likely have different mounts and for sure require different wire connections and signals from the different ECUs and canbus architecture.

But hey! Thought I'd put the question out there.

C6 Instrument Cluster in a C5. And it works. - CorvetteForum - Chevrolet Corvette Forum Discussion
Was curious about this also and found a few threads.Too bad the videos and links don't work on Photobucket any more.

Wow no kidding. It seemed a low likelihood. That's pretty cool.

Exactly. And some guys a decade ago were pondering C6 HUD and HUD controls. No answers though.
