Default Pinion/diff question

On a C5 diff is the pinion gear hollow all the way through? In theory could a shaft pass through it and out the back of the case? In the kit car we are building we need to run a flipped diff but don't want to run on the coast side of the gears either. Thanks

Yes, the pinion gear has a hole completely through.
