We asked Bobby about regular D44 Longs about a year ago. There's room in the knuckle, but not enough room in the spindle hole in the knuckle to actually put the Long in. A Ford outer is slightly bigger than a Chevy outer, but you'd still have to have a Long that is smaller than the Toyota mini Longfield.
I wonder if you could run 30-spline 10-bolt side gears in your locker/carrier to get a 45º pressure angle to match the Long chromo inners?
