If it's not too late (sounds like it is) I have to wonder if it could have also been possible to swap the entire rear end into the MM?

I suspect this was a leaf sprung MM right? If so then the rear end from leaf sprung sport might have been the easier way to go and what i'd do if it's not too late.
