If there is one on a shelf, it will have a seriously large price tag attached.
Give BTB a ring

The manifold desined by BTB to install the S50 into the E30 fits. NOT cheap! We installed Jhonnos M50 with one after he mullered another S50 head.
Fritz's Bitz sell an alternative, probably more suitable with lower diameter primaries.

Did I read somewhere that the E36 manifold can be used with a modification to the steering column?

Those are the same shape as the M52 manifolds, ed325i managed to get his steering linkage to miss, but your not going to get an exhaust on the car without some welding one way or another

I still haven't fitted the original 1 I bought as part of the BTB group buy last year. Never used, not even test fitted. Still in original packaging.
