Yes - most electronic speedos work in exactly the same way, pulses from a sensor in the gearbox. Rev counter you car wire up to coil or ECU, dash lights are the same whatever car. You'd need to be fairly handy with electronics to sort matching it all up though, and there's the issue of the pulse speeds being different, I'm sure you can get boxes to do this like you would on imports to convert kmh to mph. If this is done using electronics alone then adjustment and calibration is very easy.

it could be done depending on if it were cable driven or eleccy an d would suspect that some sort of modification would be needed especially if it were a different make. i.e ford,fiat etc.
