I'm sure you know Dakota gauges. Have you looked at Intellitronix, Auto Meter, Chetco Digital Instruments those are a few that come to mind.

Thanks...looks like they are all comparable in pricing.

Ed...I have a Dakota Digital gear indicator for the 700R4 and must say it works great. I had one segment in the display go bad after it was well out of warranty and they still replaced the unit free of charge. Good people to work with.

Thanks guys..my son is researching them now. One company he likes mentions that we would need to install different oil and temp sending units for their gauges to work. Problem for me is that the LT1 engine needs the OEM senders for the ECM to work properly..ie..activating fans etc.

Will keep looking and asking questions...don't want to install double sending unit if it can be avoided.
