Forward Mounted Sway Bar

I am looking for a forward mounted sway bar for my '55 F-100. I have looked at the rear mounted ones on a Mustang II frontend, but with the rear sump pan on the 429, I do not think there is room between the crossmember and the pan sump when the pillow blocks are installed. So if someone has used a forward mounted bar please advise.

I thought all MII fronts used a front mounted sway bar. The one under my 40 does for sure.

My Jag IFS uses a front mount bar as well, in fact I dont think I have ever owned anything with a rearward facing front sway bar.
