VSS to mechanical Question

I am installing a NV4500 behind a 351W in a 79 f250 4x4 and was wondering how everyone is dealing with the VSS to mechanical spedometer issue. Is there a VSS speedometer that fits in the 79 Dash?

the speedo is in the tailshaft of the t-case, not the trans.
or are you using a different t-case?

yes

I am using the BW4401 that came with the NV4500. It's a VSS type. I have been looking at some aftermarket electronic speedo's. I may have to take the original speedo apart and implant some VSS components.
