Engine Diaper

Good Morning fellas,

Where are you guys getting custom engine diapers made?

This is for a super stock style car with a draglink.

Thanks in advance.

I had one made by DRE. Sent them the dimensions on their order form & It fit very well but was not cheap.

Thanks for supporting Russ guys! He’s like the only sponsor I’ve ever had ..... I’m fortunate to live near him and he’s made three for me and a ton of other mopar racers

My vote is for Russ as well. I have one of the old super stock pans that the centerlink goes through the pan. Russ made me a diaper, and called me a couple times just to make sure the measurements were correct, and it fit like a glove. I blew an engine in the lights in 2019, and not a drop of oil on the track. Plus I got stopped and did not wreck the car.

Another Vote for Russlerii, good drawing and pics, it will fit perfect, or mine have anyway. Dont see many pics on here right now with the Heat barrier on them, he will add if you need for the same price, if your close on your headers it will help.

Does Russler have a website?
Can't find them online.

Here is the web site. Along with the picture I sent.

I have a RusslerII on my car also. Great fit. I even got a Christmas card from him this year.

I have RusslerII on 2 of my cars as well.

Not to change the post but Damn that is once clean and detailed undercarrige . Nice

Yeah Doug's car is one nice machine but now I have to wonder what that gauge is that is mounted in front of the oil pump/filter

Air pressure for the Master Lube (oil accumulator).

DRE diaper on mine . Have it on for about 10 years.

Anybody have any photos of a diaper on a A-body with 2" under chassis headers, stock front k-frame, stock suspension and a deep wide super stock oil pan with the tie rod through the middle?

Thanks!

About 10-11 years ago I had a company in Ohio make me one for my car. I think it has a tag on it that says JJ? It held up well until my bumper dragging pan smashing episode last fall. I have to get a new one now too...

a few of my friends are running belly pans now too. takes a little fab work but they seem to be happy with them. another option.

Are there any minimum requirements for a belly pan when it comes to depth, height and width?

They're saying 6.40 and faster requires pan or diaper now and I''ve surpassed that.

Belly pan has to have a 2” min depth . I have one on my car . A lot easier than a diaper

Any pictures of it that you can post?
Thanks, Brian

Here’s a few of a friends 68 cuda

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.

I made my own pan, its lined internally with an absorbent mate. Since I'm using a motor plate I used the engine mounts to connect up to the block. It might not be the prettiest pan in the world, but it passes tech.

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.

I am having to lookin into this too, the track gave me a hard time last time I was there.

For the guys running belly pans the rules state- The belly pan must extend from framerail to framerail and extend forward of the harmonic balancer and reaward to rear engine plate and must incorporate a minimum 2-inch-high lip on all sides. A nonflammable, oil-absorband liner mandatory inside of retention device. See General Regulations 1:8 in NHRA Rulebook.. I have a stock suspension E Body with a 5.7 hemi and I can not see a way to go frame rail to frame rail. In the belly pans pictured I see they just encase the oil pan, has the track given you a hassle for this?

I run a DRE. I’ve had it repaired several times. Service is always quick and easy
