I have a '90 454SS and want to change my moonies cluster to a needle cluster with a tach. If I order a '91 454SS needle cluster with tach will it plug in?

It should. I'm not sure. If you are wanting to swap clusters and can swing it, I'd look at Dakota digital.

@someotherguy would probably know. Here’s a link that looks to have some information on it.

Finding the 91 cluster is probably the hardest part.

That's what ill do when the time comes, they look and fit awesome, I like the silver with white face gauges,

PS I know the purist will frown but I don't care, my SS454 is far from stock/collector material anyways and I line it better that way

Absolutely the hardest part is finding one. The regular (non-SS) 1991 needle cluster is rare enough already. A 1991 454SS cluster is super hard to find and will be $$$ if the seller knows what it is. Just be aware if you're ordering off some site like car-part, most of those salvage operations really don't have a clue what they're looking at and any cluster is the same as the next. I thought that years ago I could find a 454SS cluster that way and each "maybe" was a complete dead end with a regular truck cluster.

You can absolutely do it; for a 1988-1991 model truck the 1991 needle cluster is the easiest way to put needle style gauges in your truck. For 1988-1990 it just requires moving 3 wires around in the dash harness cluster connector. 1991 moonies to 1991 needles are pretty much a drop-in swap. The only real catch on any of them is if your moonie cluster was the super bare-bones idiot light cluster instead of gauges, then you'll need to change some sending units, too.

1992-1993 454SS cluster can be swapped in as well but it's a much bigger job as the wiring and electronics are totally different. You'll have to add a DRAC module and its associated connector hacked into your existing wiring, change the connector for the cluster, etc. PLUS find the cluster to begin with. 1992-1993 454SS are the lowest production numbers of all years.
