Red face Ft Swaybar for Camaro LS1 in NA Miata

Has anyone found a ft swaybar that fits in an NA-LS1 installation without interfering with the engine crank pulley?

Thanks. I talked to Keith at FM about their bar but he didn't know if it would fit with the Camaro crank damper. FM uses a shorter CTS-V setup. Which pulley do you have?

Cool How about an E32 BMW bar

I believe SEBZ has pics of the minor mods required to use the E32 front bar, going to try it myself, however mine is a f0rd build.

The issue is not the crank pulley and there are tons of Camaro pulleys in Miatas with FMs V8 bar. The issue is the F body AC compressor and to clear that you have to move the sway bar forward about 3/4 of an inch. 2nd photo here: http://jimsmiata.blogspot.com/2013/06/i-give-up.html If no AC she goes right in...
