GSL-SE Rear End in an Rx2

Anyone know how hard/easy it is to put a complete SE rear end in an Rx2? Any previous experiences? Need the LSD, 4x114.3's and the strength. Any difficulty in finding decent used SE rears?

straight swap only:
RX-2 and RX-3 SP, use up to 83 gsl.
non-rx-3 SP has long pinion shaft, therefore, its either modify your driveshaft or find a SP drive shaft.

The driveshaft mods aren't a problem as I plan to eliminate the 2-piece Rx2 shaft in favor of a custom one piece unit anyway. I need to know if the lateral links, shock mounts, and stock panhard bar will match up or do I need to modify the mounting points...

79-85 wheelbase = 95.3"
RX-2 = 97.2"
RX-3 = 91
RX-4 = 99
R100 = 89
