No (or at least not without a ton of electrical work). The newer clusters get their information from the ECU, while the 96-98's rely on external sensors (which is why you have 2 coolant temp senders, one for the ECU one for the temp gauge). Cluster Interchange Info
Ok thanks for the advice i have a couple of more questions if you dont care man i bought a 96 cobra instrument cluster and i was planning on putting it in my 96 gt will it work and i am gonna put a mechanical temp guage in it and i was gonna tap into one of the factory senders would that work thanks
Same year should work; at least the signals and such expected are the same. Only V6 to V8 poses a problem there (but not your situation).
An aftermarket temp gauge would likely require its own sender (depends on the gauge). If you intend to use it and not use the factory temp gauge, you could remove the factory gauge sender and install whatever sender matches the gauge.
