Default oem tachometer swap?

Could i take a tach from an ex or other model of the same year
and stick it where my engine temp gauge goes? I dont really want a massive aftermarket tach. Would an aftermarket of the same size fit?
I dont really want to switch the whole dash in. Unless its not that hard.
any advice

lol well id be getting other gauges to monitor temp.
So the cluster swap would be pretty easy? Is there allready a rev thing to read all the stuff? I wouldn't have to make new wires etc.
