My head gaskets are well on their way out at 215K miles and an overheat June 2015. I found a 32V with "102K miles" for a little under a grand on CL. Comes with harness, but can I get away with modifying the stock harness, as I have 4x4? I wanted to rebuild mine and stick a Lightning pullout on top, but it's looking like the 32V may be a better option. Do the 32V's come with forged crank and rods? Do they handle forced induction better with a stock bottom end or do I need to just go ahead and build my 16V? I guess I should go ahead and list my goals with this truck.
I wanted to do some forced induction, like I said I wanted to do the Lightning top end swap. I also want to pull off that ZF5 swap since my 4r100 crapped out on my last September, and I don't want to have to deal with that again. Is the 16V better for this or the 32V?
Edit: Forgot to mention the 32V comes with what looks like a 4R70 RWD transmission, that's why I was wondering if I could adapt the stock harness and use my 4r100 and my 4x4 in the meantime.
