3.8 to 383 engine swap

Hello, I just purchased a 98 camaro with the 3.8 engine. The engine has 170,000 miles and I am wanting to swap out engines with a 383. My question is how hard will it be to get the dash gauges all to work? The engine swap I can handle but I am unsure if I can get the gauges to work with out help!

Your best best is to order a custom harness, if you have the coin. Failing that, you'd need to obtain the wiring schematic for your current car and for the donor car, then go to town with the soldering iron.

I hope you're not going with a Gen 1 383, you wouldn't be able to reach the distributor.
