That's a good question - I would think not as the v8 will send different signals to the I6 dash for the speedo & tacho - just like when you buy an aftermarket tacho it was 4, 6 & 8 cylinder settings.....

The speedo gets it signal off the transmission so can't see an issue with the speedo - just the tacho - everything else hooks up the same

I was watching a police spec one on eBay - ended on Saturday with no bids @ $120 - guy has a for sale add in fordmods under option 20

He had buy now for $350 or something lol

But i have been told with 4.11s even with the calibration it won't be able to show the correct speed
