I am getting to the point where I have decided I would like to run an engine diaper. It will be going on a tube chassis car so I don't guess there is much clearance issues. Engine does have a Moroso 8 quart deep pan. Is there a universal type diaper that you all could recommend or is it something I would special order? Never had any experience with an engine diaper. Any help would be appreciated.

What is the turn-around time for DRE?

[RAIV-Z]

Have you considered adding a belly pan?

[GTOGEORGE]

DRE will also repair their diapers for free, at least they have fixed mine for free.

I have seen a few newer builds with a belly pan. I do like that idea. The pan would hang low though as this oil pan is very deep/tall and is pretty close to the ground as is. I guess it could zeus fasten to the frame bars.

I would like to hear from someone that windowed an oil pan or worse a block and a belly pan held debri and oil and kept it off the tires. I have a DRE diaper and can attest that they work.

When I bought my DRE diaper, I paid the extra $100 for the Kevlar material with a violent "explosion" in mind. It's hard to imagine a belly pan would work as well.

I have seen your car before Jim, but I cannot remember if it was a full tube chassis or not? Looked at the Stroud Webpage. What part number did you get? Was it a universal type fit? How was the install?

[John Langer]

I have a carbon fiber belly pan that is removable with dzus fittings similar to what pro mods and pro stocks use. I can install or remove it in maybe 10 seconds. I had a diaper years ago. Touched the headers. Melted. Was saturated in oil. Wasn't a fan of the diaper.

I use a universal non SFI type I bought from Summit for about $150 -just in case, I hope to never test it out.

DRE here too. If you order one and it doesn't make it by Norwalk let me know and I will bring my spare with me and you can borrow it for the weekend. It's a custom fit for the Moroso 8 quart pan and is probably pretty easy to put on a tube chassis car. My car the engine has to be out to install it.

[ponjohn]

When are these required?

Any interest in selling the diaper?

Thanks for the info Jim! I may be going that way if it will clear my oil pan. It is the deep Moroso 8 qt pan.
