Default Dana 30 questions

Can i swap a pinion from a stock dana 30 and use it in my hp30? or can i use the center section out of my hp in a normal 30? working on a really tight budget and got screwed on this deal so trying to keep costs down. Any advice will be awsome. thanks

No.
The gears are not interchangeable.

You can use the carrier but that's it as far as the diff is concerned.

The steering, knuckles, shafts, hubs, ball joints, diff cover are interchangeable.

The HP Dana 30 has reverse cut gears which makes it about 30% stronger than the low pinion D30.
