The Jag rear center section is basical a Dana 44 center section. As far as the ring and pinion, it's not a direct bolt on change. The Dana 44 like jeeps have uses different ring bolts and bolt pattern than a Jag carrier. Can you swap over, Yes with some machine work. I have done this for my rearends. You didn't say which stub axles do you have? 17 or 19 spline, or 27 spline stub shafts. The best thing would be for you to find another center section and sell this one or keep for a spare. Something else is that this Jag rearend is only good for about 450/450 HP and torque. This is with a street tire of 200 or higher wear. Run a softer tire or high power motor and you are looking at running a rearend carrier with 30 spline stub shafts, differential cover with support bolts for controling carrier cap walk. With the extra work you can up the power rating to 600/600. Chromemoly short shafts and running a 30 spline locker would be recommended. Rick L.
