Default Wiring question re C6 instrument cluster

Greetings from Ontario, Canada.

I'm building a custom car (with lots of help) and like the C6 instrument cluster, so I would like to incorporate this into my build.

I'm using the LS6 engine and the ECU from my 02 Z06 donor car, and plan to use a wiring harness (Painless Performance type).

Can anyone tell me what I must do in order to have a properly functioning cluster where all the gauges work (just gauges)?

I have read about possible need to use the BCM but am uncertain of what all is required to make this happen?

Any assistance or direction is very appreciated,
Thank you,
Mike

I'm in the process of doing this exact thing to my Superlite Coupe. Unfortunately if you are using the ECM from your 02 Z06 then you must also use the BCM and instrument cluster from the same year (C5) car.

My car is using the ECM, BCM and instrument cluster from a 06 Z06.

Here is a build that may interest you. The owner is building a Factory Five GTM and using the instrument cluster, ECM and BCM from a C5 Corvette. http://gtmbuild.weebly.com/

Thank you for this information, do you know if the C5 cluster will fit into the C6 dash? I prefer the updated look of the C6 dash and console.
Thanks,
Mike
