SC to TC dash swop

I'm putting a 2200 TC engine into my SC P6 and want to put in the TC round dial dash too. Is this a do-able job ? Would be glad of a few tips.
 
I've not done it, but I imagine you'll need to make up a extra wiring loom for the rev counter, oil pressure gauge and ammeter.
 
Yes, bit of extra wiring involved. You'll need a few extra bits with the dash too. The TC dash has a round multiplug on the back so you'll need that with a bit of the wiring so you can splice it together. They also have different mounting brackets. The one on the right just bolts in iirc but the one on the left has a plate that's riveted to the dash shelf under the plastic tray and another piece bolted to it above. There is also an ammeter shunt attached to that. You'll need to cut the plastic dash tray a bit to accommodate the bigger clocks and of course the top crash pad is different. You may need a different speedo cable but I can't remember. I did this back in 1995, fitting a 2000TC motor and dash into a series 1 SC but I had the donor car sitting next to it so I could take measurements and swap bits as required.
Ideally, you'd want to be the one to remove it from a scrapper, just so you can see what's involved.
