Rough sketch, dropout will not fit horizontally I am afraid.
I am not sure there is enough stays to actually make this work. You might have to talk to a real framebuilder about it, as your current dropouts is 'lugged' - like on old Colnago dropouts. Maybe you can somehow keep the lugs and weld some of these Surly dropout to the leftover lugs:
And have the option of going back to gears. It might look a little clumsy, but It would be faster, cheaper and easier probably... If they fit.
