I have easier solution for this, no welding required. Leave the E34 dipstick alone. Cut the nipple from E36 oil dipstick about two inches. Measure the girth then use same size drill bit and dril a hole on the oil pan just near the dipstick hole then insert E36 nipple and put some jb weld to seal it. You would want to drill the oil pan before it is put on the engine.

Really cool to see that people are still using this thread as reference. I wish I could be more involved with helping people out that message me, but school is killing me lately. Good luck to anyone taking on this swap!
It's been very fun to drive and this setup hasn't failed or given me issues!Your signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image.

E30:
944
The 944 just requires a much closer firewall clearance than the stock e30 one does. Required that I trim away a lot of the firewall insulation (no big deal), and also relocate the brake line heading to the RF wheel (bigger deal). Doesn't really fit all that well, but good enough. If I'd have known about it I would have either gotten a different booster or made a spacer plate. As it is, I can't go the spacer route having already cut off the input rod to the right length.
After looking at some 944 images just now, it seems as if they're not all the same. However, mine was just like the one shown.S52-Powered 1987
