The pans dont look like they would do a very good job of containing oil and parts if it kicks a rod out the side of the block...A diaper runs up both sides of the bock to the head gaskets.

My pans are wider and attach to the frame or cage, diapers suck! Hard to get off, get oily, hold heat in motor, just have always seemed like a PIA to me. I have a brake in shop, and access to sheet aluminum. It’s kinda fun to bend up your own. I talked with our NHRA tech guy, and he says there is no minimum spec on material until you get into fuel or top Alcohol type cars. I believe the aluminum I use is .029 or .039, have to go look for sure. Usually can use Addell clamps on cage tubing and slugs elsewhere. Always just have 4 attaching points. Just my personal preference tho. Jim.
