Hello all, any one know what other model of BMW front suspension sway bar is similar to E9 only front middle that passes from under the oil pan be about 2 inch lower, the engine that I use for E9 I couldn't use the M30 oil pan I had to use E34 oil pan that's why I couldn't use the original sway bar if any company makes a custom made sway bar I defiantly can use, thank you in advance.

A man who would defiantly use a sway bar fits right in here...

Why couldn't you use the original pan or one of the other pans that fit with the stock sway bar setup? Stock oil pans are much cheaper than custom-made sway bars.
 
you are being real clear about what your doing , From the best I can understand your trying to put an S54 into your E9 ? if that is the case you need to understand this is not a bolt in install , it requires a lot of fabrication and out of the box thinking . the e9 s54 car I did we grafted an e36 bar to fit with the e36 suspension we fabed into the car

Its gonna be real tough with the stock airbox , unmodified . on the e30 people are cutting and plastic welding the box to fit around booster and master cyl . on the E9 this will prove to be even more of an issue due the fact that the booster sits quite far from the firewall , On our e9 project we went with open trumpets running on an alpha n type deal, on my race car I installed a tillton system with the masters inside the cabin

I take care of that that was easy part I cut the pedal box short booster pump is very close to fire wall and cut part of the box and molded with fiberglass it look original and it worked perfect but that was 5 hour job and today end of the day we start it and works like it should and pay all that hard work I was afraid oil pump not going to work since we use deferent type of oil pump But worked with no problem today was my happy day with big happy face, but I can not drive yet there is no front end and drive shaft and the break system I have to upgrade the break, but I didn't figure out what we use yet I have to take care of AC first before we move to front end and break system I love this engine it look like made for E9 just check the picture

just check the picture you can not see the booster or master cylinder and more important and challenging was wiring we took big bunch of wire from back of engine to inside under the dash as you see is one clean engine there is no wiring around it and that was more challenging than box and the booster pump
