I believe this swap will NOT work. There was a change in 1984, and I don't know for certain whether the change was at the beginning of the year or the end. I *believe* that dashes from '79 through '84 are compatible, and '85-'93 are compatible, but they are NOT compatible with each other. This was a major change to the very shape of the dash, and no amount of pounding will fix it. I learned this AFTER spending an evening trying to force a dash from a '90 900T into my '80 900T. They aren't even close.
Do note there was another change, around '87 or '88, when the thickness of the dash and the shape of the sides were changed. This is easy to get around - just swap A-pillar trim pieces with the dash. This "trick" won't help you get an early dash into a late car, or vice versa, however. :)
