I'm in HELL! HELP HELP HELP

Newbie here..............
I have a circa 5/2008 5.7 LS1 from Turnkey Engines. Rated at 410/420,
NO O2 sensors...Its their
"offroad" engine. It's in a rock crawler. I'm literally loading into my trailer to leave for KOH in Cali...I'm in NY....2300 miles, planning for 1 1/2 years.
Running rough, wont idle, stalls... I check one of the multi-plugs and discover corrosion and then that a pin on the circuit board has broken off now...ENGINE DOES NO LONGER RUN!
I call Turnkey...no longer is this computer (Delphi MEFI-4) available...WTF!
What are my alternatives on EXTREMELY short notice?
PLEASE can anybody help me out immediately?
Thanks in advance for any help that can be given...

Used computer out of a 99-02 firebird or camaro should work assuming compatible with your harness

One option and depending on how good you are at wiring (it's not that hard) and your budget, I would just buy a Holley HP EFI system and be done with it. You'll need to know the details of the engine to get the correct main harness and injector harness. I can literally hook one up and have it running in a couple hours but I've done a few already so I'm familiar with the whole system. Since you're crossing the country you could call a some shops that you will pass by and see if they can do the install for you on short notice or if they can work with what you have already.
