I also have a dirty dingo engine crossmember I bought a few years ago for the swap. I'm still debating on what controller to use. Holley is at the top of my list because it self tunes but is pretty expensive. Below is an excellent thread from another member.

I would recommend moving the engine forward as it's very tight in the stock position. I read somewhere the K's engine was further back from the factory...(I could hardly get the HEi distributor cap off mine with the 350 in it)...I needed to adjust my firewall to keep the LS in stock engine position.
