Tubular Front Sub frame and Custom Pan for dual pump set up

[surebimmer]

The E34 pan will fit this sub frame with the sway bar in the back, but I do not think that the sway bar in the front. From what I remember the e34 pan sits pretty close to the steering rack and there is not much room in between.

Ya after I posted that I thought of the front sump being in the way, for the front sway bar. Thinking about a S54 down the line and might want to pick one of these up.

Yes I am more than willing to sell just the subframes too.

[surebimmer]

Will you be willing to sell just the sub frame? Like the idea of the sway bar in the front, won't get in the way of the header. A E34 pan would still clear this?

Does the tubular front sub frame weigh less then a standard sub frame. Do euro headers clear this sub frame. And with moving the sway bar to the front does this change effectiveness of the bar?

the bar will work the same way mounted in the front. the tubing is .120 wall dom and with the reinforcing plates, etc. it weighs more. I will weigh them out when I do the next one.

I have a feeling that this may weigh slightly more than the stock sub frame, I am willing to bet the euro headers would fit just fine based on where people have had to notch the stock sub frame, and I do not think moving the bar will effect anything. I believe the e36/46 cars have them in front.

I am not sure about the standard sway bar, but the m3 bar bolts up with adjustable end links. I imagine the same would go for the regular e30.

i would love to have a subframe to fit an E36 Pan.

This would fit the e36 pan. Not sure if the e36 pan would still need to be clearanced on the back side though.
Would be easy enough to test once this is mounted on a car with the S54 installed.


So once the reinforcing is done to the mounting are of the subframe will a stock anti-roll bar be able to fit on the front side of the subframe?

I am interested. I would like to see pics installed.

[TinyT]

Once I get some people seriously interested I will have a lot of the parts water jet cut so the turn around will be fast

[Lag]

Only the rear of the pan was changed, the front was left alone. A stock S54/euro pan will not fit with this sub frame without modification. The only other modification is the sway bar needs to be relocated to the front of the sub frame and reinforced mounts will be done for this. It would look similar to this but beefier:

[TinyT]

Was the front pan only modified for the extra capacity? Would a stock S54 pan work with that subframe?

no, I make a relief in the sump to clear the subframe.
