this has been covered before...i cant remember who said it first, but its more practical to buy a mkIII
youd have to change all the wiring and the engine/tranny, and most everything else to make it all work properly.

It would be easier to make a Honda from an erector set.

I did a similar swap for my MX73 Cressida (Mk III cluster into Cressida) but this was at the same time as doing a 7M-GTE install. The biggest problem is that you have to cut a huge chunk out of the Mk II dashboard to fit the Mk III cluster. Then you have to mould something in to hold the cluster (like a chunk from the Mk III dash) and then get it all recovered.

Once that's done, you've got the wiring to splice/change to make it work. It's not a quick or even easy job and I wouldn't do it again myself! Still, it look impressive when it was finished.
