Drop bars on Surly Troll

Hi!
So I recently ordered Surly Troll frameset to build a touring bike and now it's time for parts. I want to go for drop bars, particularly Salsa Cowchipper but maybe something else, instead of flat bars. I know that Troll frame is built for flat bars, has long top tube, etc. I'm 178 cm, the frame is medium size.
Will this work? What should I consider to buy to make it work? Angled or short stem? Additional headset spacers? The steerer tube isn't cut yet, so I have options I guess.
