When you say rewire the harness what are you talking about?

What are your plans for the truck? Most of the time an 80E with a shift kit is enough for most people.

How many miles on the unit? How did the fluid look? Metal in the pan?

What kind of power?

You'd probably be just fine with a shift kit. You might also want to consider a billet turbine shaft although plenty of people are making big power on the stock turbine shaft, some people have broken it with bolt ons.

you've got to swap some wires on the transmission main connector (round connector) and swap some pins as well on the pcm side connector

You going to do a full rebuild, new clutches, etc? I say put a shift kit in it and see how it does. You'll probably have 600+ to the wheels, but your truck is light, I think a shift kit will suffice.

Think you'll stick with the 3,600rpm converter? (obviously you'll have to get a new 80e one)
