Engine diaper

Looking for suggestions on engine diaper, for a 1971 Demon340.
Something light weight and user friendly.

J&J diapers if you get the heat resistant one is maybe 3/16 of an inch at most on the sides and can lay right on the headers. My son and I both run them.

I have had very good luck with DRE, Dennis has always been responsive to any requests for custom stuff and gets it done in a timely manor. Unfortunately we have performance tested a couple of them and zero issues

Those guys are awesome....

Nothing to complain about with the DRE diapers.

Thanks for your R&R Al

I like DJ too. I run DJ, and Stroud on my own stuff.

I have taken some plain single layer generic ones and made them custom for buds on tight budgets.
I know this sounds red neck, but it works. Cut some .032 aluminum sheet that matches the side profile of the diaper. Glue it to the outside of the diaper with high temp RV. Then you can bend it to fit the sides of the motor rigidly, and if the header touches no big deal. Sometimes I'll glue a piece inside the bottom to keep them from sagging.

How do these manufacture deal with the drag link issues?
Thanks

Curious about the drag link question as well. Anyone?

All I can say again is my son has the diaper I recommend on his stock frontend small block Duster and is running one. We had more clearance issues with the Milidon oil pan and the 1 7/8 Hedmen headers but a 4 pound hammer fixed that.

I have a Russler II engine diaper, custom made at a generic price. He called me twice about the measurments just to make sure it would fit, and it fits like a glove.

My tie rods go through the oil pan sump. The diaper uses Velcro strips to attach flaps after the diaper is installed. I tested the diaper this spring when I broke a rod, going through the lights, very little oil leaked. It did dump some water as per the hole above the diaper as the rod broke the side of the block. But I felt no loss of traction and got the car stopped, track was only shut down a few minutes.

I have a Russler II diaper as well. Fit extremely nice. He'll make whatever you need.
