Dash frame is the same. As mentioned, you will need the light bar with 4 lights, as well as a different heater control panel.

Trim piece at the bottom is different as well. Not sure what you call it. And you already know the wiring is different. And I might be missing a few other small details. But for the most part it bolts right in.

Why is different heater control panel needed ?

The standard gauge speedometer is a larger diameter and dips down into the heater control panel.

I didn't buy a "kit" when I converted mine, just modified my standard harness.
1. Spliced into the oil light wire to add a connector for the rallye oil gauge.
    You'll need a rallye oil sending unit too.
2. Ran a wire from the coil to the tach
    Sorry, don't remember where I stole power for the tach.

kinda seems easy, except for buying gauges.
everything is available.
great!
