This I know for sure.A DOHC tach won't work in a SOHC, and a SOHC tach won't work in a DOHC.The tach-signals are different.I did take a SOHC tach and put it in my DOHC car and it doesn't work.

I do think the speedometer will work. I'm 99% sure it will but I'm not sure..

The sohc tach will not work with a dohc motor. However you can swap the sohc tach out for a dohc tach. Everything else will work fine.

Yeah the harnesses are the same.

But harness for Analog Cluster is different then harness for digital HUD.
