I dont know if they'll fit but your gauges will be off such as oil pressure and temp

40 lbs of oil pressure from a Cummins is the same as 40 lbs of oil pressure from a 318, and the same from the temperature sending unit. I see no reason the gauges would not work.

Gasser Guage Cluster

WOW AM I EXCITED TO HEAR THE GASSER CLUSTER WILL WORK!! I STILL HAVE MINE AFTER CONVERSION WAS COMPLETED. I SERIOUSLY THOUGHT OF SELLING IT. NOW FOR MY QUESTION???? I STILL HAVE THE ORIGINAL 4:10 REAR END IN MY TRUCK SO IF I PUT GASSER CLUSTER BACK IN MY SPEEDO SHOULD BE ACCURATE AS BEFORE?? NOW I AM GETTING READY TO SWAP DONOR REAR END WHICH IS I BELIEVE A 3:54 IS IT SAFE TO ASSUME THAT MY SPEEDO WILL BE OFF SOMEWHAT??? I ALSO PUT A 47rh IN TO REPLACE THE A-518 WILL THIS HAVE AN AFFECT ON MY SPEEDO?? I WILL CONTINUE TO WATCH THIS THREAD.IT WOULD BE NICE IF SOMEONE DOING A CONVERSION WOULD DOCUMENT SOME OF THIS STUFF FOR GUYS GETTING READY TO DO A CONVERSION. I KNOW THAT A THREAD WAS CREATED JUST FOR CONVERSIONS BUT TIPS LIKE THE GUAGE CLUSTER AND USING THE GASSER FUEL TANK ARE NEED TO KNOW ITEMS TO HELP THE CONVERSION GO SMOOTHLY........ ANYONE HAVE SUGGESTIONS? AUGIE DOG

AUGIE DOG----the gears in the cluster dont match up to the gears in the rear at all...no specific cluster for specific gears....i took a 3.54 cluster and put in 3.07 truck and it works same. no difference

The determining factor is the speedo gear in the tcase and the little black reduction gear on the 205 tcase.
