I'm getting ready to install my 16V DOHC masi motor in my 83 Rampage. I have all the 16V wiring and dash etc etc. i'm thinking instead of modifying everything to work with the rampage heat and dash, since my stuff is all custom, why not pull it all out and install the dash from the Masi TC. its nice black leather and then i have the same controls to work with the wiring i would be using. any chance the dash might fit ?
I had a pic of a omni with a shelby daytona dash in it... The width should be *ok* but not too sure on the mounting brackets and such, prob have to make some adapters which shouldn't be too hard to do.. So, it *should* fit as that bodystyle was derived from a G-body.
Make it happen. Cool idea.

Sounds like a sweet idea! Post up pics!!!
There was a TIII car that had a full gbody front interior in it. The sides of the dash never looked quite right IMO though.
In general the lbody is 1.5" narrower than the Gbody. This is true of the frame and the track width. I am not sure how much of that translates directly to the interior.
guess i will find out when i start pulling stuff out one day
Its a very nice interior and i figure why not use it then i dont have to worry about mating things together with the rampage and the TC wiring to get it to work.
You know, wiring is such a pain, it might actually be easier this way.
Yes but wiring can be wrapped up in friction tape and hidden. Gaps and misfitment of the dash will stick out like a sore thumb to everyone...Originally Posted by Dusty_Duster

Exactly...make it fast and all they'll see is the rear end.

Exactly !!!!! at least somebody gets it and it will be comfortable and feel more like a car than sitting in a Omni, no offense to you Omni lovers
