Well, actually, I have....(2001 360 Magnum into 1989 Shelby Dak), but it's carb'd and the wiring for the instruments isn't an issue, so I can't help there. One thing you could do is run the Magnum engine with the Magnum computer, and let the original PCM handle everything else. That's how it's handled in 60's-70's Magnum installations. There are some gauge issues, but fully electronic units can be installed, even matching Mopar Performance sets that'll fit your dash.
