      Why are all differential housings built similar to this?

      If there is a pinion offset it is rather minimal. I know that strength is needed on all sides of the case, and bearing support is also needed. My major question is could the ring gear be flipped 180 degrees about the axle centerline, and the pinion moved over while retaining the same differential? I am trying to get enough of an offset to clear my engine block that I am still building on pro engineer. I know most of you buy the parts then build finding problems as they come, but with my limited time at home I can't do that.

      I think the differential would have a different torque applied to it by the new pinion location. The one side bearing could be moved a little farther out; I am contemplating my options. I haven't been working on my model for a week or so because of tests at school.
