Gauges, as far as I have been told, can all be ran individually (as in buy new standalone gauges and wire them up)...pain in the ass but not a big deal. No power anything inside, just interior...

I guess I'm just confused because if I can get the motor running on a stand, without any computer elements, what changes when I stick it onto a chassis? Shouldn't matter if it's a model T or a 2019...

What systems may be prone to failure? I'm just confused because if I run fuel to it I can have it running on an engine stand no problem. If its running in the vehicle, I can then run vacuum and power...
