DJ safety makes one that is for a hemi, that has a cut out for the oil pump. They provide a small diaper that covers the pump and lines, that tucks into the main diaper. Ill post a pic of it later today. I've used this one on several cars, Has a silver heat sheild material, and kevlar straps that the headers can't burn too. I've cooked some brown spots on it from cars that it just had to get crammed in against the headers. Worth the coin for sure.

I don't have a dragster but I had one made for my car by Russler II engine diapers. He uses the dimensions of your oil pan and makes one to fit. He can make it so it fits what ever is in the way or what not.

I just put a new DJ safety on my truck and I am very happy with it (fit and mounting)

Is DRE in Lake Havasu, AZ?
If so I have a friend who used them on his BB 1968 dart and love their product up

Got this on the Daytona. Running a Milodon dragster pan and a single line. Fits decent but doesn't cover the oil filter.

The DJ safety has three J hooks that fit into adjustable alligator type strap adjusters, literally take seconds to remove the diaper. all other I have used/installed were simply loops that attached to the header bolts with cinch straps had to remove header bolts to drop the diaper.

I have a Russler 11 on my car, Ive owned 3 of them over the years, he will make one to fit close to perfect, you send him your measurements and pics, he'll build it to fit. Russ Velderrain is the owners name. He's out of Arizona. Web site is www.RUSSLERii.com, I know several guys from Moparts has used him. Jay Waxler had recomended him to me years ago. Russ runs an older front engine dragster of his own. Right at $200 bucks and custom fit.

I also have a Russler, he was very good to deal with. I sent him measurements and he called twice to verify exactly what I needed, it fits like a glove. I have an old super stock oil pan that the tie rod goes through the pan and an external pickup. Kicked a rod two years ago, and not a drop of oil got on the track. And better yet not a drop got under my tires at 138mph as it popped as I crossed the finish line.

RusslerII is out of Bullhead City Cab.... prob who your friend was referring to since they’re 50 miles apart smile. Russ has treated me well over the years and he really has a passion with making things right. I even know some people sent their custom pans to him to aid in design.
