S54 Swap Modifications Available

[Northern]

Butters, the centre section of the plastic should fit, just the ends you're going to have to modify. I can't tell you how much, because mine is long gone.

Can anyone comment on what the sway bar relocation does to the plastic belly pan / undertray?

I'm getting my motor ready to pull out and noticed that something will need to be done - i.e. cuts made to the plastic.

I'm a neat freak and this is slightly upsetting, but I'm sure I can get creative with how to make it look stock or at least look clean. Has anyone done it?

Unless he changed his prices, 725 for subframe and oil pan mod. It will probably cost you 45$ give or take to send your parts to him

about how much it will run me when sending my subframe?

TinyT is the arc asylum
And yes this service allows you to use the s54 pan after he modifies it and your old subframe to work together

I think Arc Asylum is what you need:

Hmmmm aluminum ? That would be awesome. Probably ultimately easier that steel.

The ends could be milled and the center section a bar....come on Tyler....do it
:) put me down for 1.

Haha! I dont think anyone would want to pay for a partial billet aluminum subframe.

What sway bar mount are people using to mount the sway bar up front? I am using a stock E30 M3 bar that has the tab up front and one bolt in back. I need a mount that uses 2 bolts. Thanks.

I'm working on an affordable fully fabricated subframe as well. Getting harder to source clean ones in the Midwest.

^^But the E34 pan is no good for ground clearance. At least, that's my reason for going 2-sump.

I found E34 oil pan to be perfect with E28 mounts plus 5mm spacer on both. Only the cooling fins are exposed under the subframe level. With the stock front valance lip installed you can only see the cooling fins of the E34 oil pan and that is something good, you don't have to mount external oil cooler. This is only for us who like stock look and who like the E30 as a day driver and not racing.
