60 Olds Convertible

Hi guys and gals
I am in the process of buying my very first Oldsmobile. It's a 1960 Dynamic 88 Soft-top. The car has had a 350 Chev/Turbo 350 combo inserted to replace the original engine. It seems the owner never got around to checking on hooking up the original gauges to the donor engine.
Is this a relatively easy process or I am destined to rely on aftermarket gauges under the dash?
Also the speedo needs connecting. Is this something that just requires an aftermarket speedo cable?
Any help greatly appreciated. The car is currently in Florida.
I'm based in New Zealand and want the car to use for family stuff as I have a 50's style Model A roadster that we cannot fit comfortably in for road trips and hotrod events. And something cool for my darling wife to drive when I'm in the roadster.
Cheers
Dale
