I fitted an autometer speedo in MPH from the states. Matches up well with the V6 auto and easy to calibrate. There are some photos on my build here

I have kept the original with an adapter from V6 Conversions in Moree.

I think the type of transmission dictates whether it is possible or not.

Sure does Craig, Assuming you'd have a VP box with geardrive it would adapt, however I have a VT gearbox which has an inductive speedo ie electrical pulse.
These guys have one. I was quoted $800 straight off and then spoke to the guys "mum" and she said $500. I will be looking at using these guys for mine. It is based on a VDO speedo behind an FC gauge. Note the LCD odometer where the mechanical one was. Hope it helps.

If you haven't grown up by 50, you don't have to.

Mine came from Castlemaine auto electrics and was for a cable setup, I can't find the receipt but I'm sure it was only around $350 with a new cable.

nfj690, the meter I got was a 5inch.  Here is the meter on ebay http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/AUTOMETER-SPORT-COMP-5-ELECTRICAL-SPEEDOMETER-0-160MPH-AU3989-/180852715966?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2a1ba971be This speedo will work on the VS-VT Commodore auto and fit neatly where the original speedo sat in the FC dash. Hope this helps, cheers, Jack.
