Why not remove the cluster and make a custom dashboard (since this is a Ferrari build) and use something like a Tiny Tach.

Really, you're more likely to fry your cluster than anything else. Stuff like LEDs, computer components that operate the tach, speedo, etc.
I'm not meaning to deter you from doing the swap, just trying to help you be aware of all the things you may need to look for. I've been working on a car alarm install, and if I've learned one thing, it's that electronics (aside from plug and play stuff) are never very straightforward, unless you just happen to be an electrician. Even then it can be sketchy.

It might. I got some wiring schematics for my car straight from the dealership and it didn't list amperage.
