Default Z06 gauge cluster into C5?

Hi all. I've been searching and searching, and came up empty handed. My question is very simple: can I put a C5 Z06 gauge cluster into a normal C5? Is it a straight over plug and play swap? Is there a way to match the mileage? Thanks.

They are the same, but for some reason the z06 cluster I found was acting strange, was giving me a charging fault, so I took the Speedo and tach out of the z06 cluster and install them in my cluster with no problems.

There the same. There are people that can match the mileage but, it takes special equipment. There use to be someone here the forum that could do it but I think he sold his equipment.

I've got a c5z cluster in my '98. I used my original mileage electronics and everything was plug'n'play with no issues.
