I use a diaper thats made for a BBC, it doesn't fit the greatest but it's not bad. It will keep in 95% of anything that happens to shoot out of the block.
I had to relocate a wastegate pipe to get clearance, that was it. If you can't get clearance for one, a pan would be pretty easy to make I'd guess?> tqisking;325816 wrote:Yea sure diapers are great... too bad they do not fit alot of vehicles... I know for a fact that I can not get one on my car..

Sweet!!!!! $455.83 Stroud Diaper BBC 7.2 SFI spec
DJ has them under $200. I know Bob is back at Stroud so things should be better there, but other options seem better until they get their shit together again.
You still have to get it down the track.http://www.goodvibesracing.com/DJSafetyEngineDiapers.htm

As far as the headers are concerned, they simply just hang too low and snake around all the factory frame ...Oh yea they also are with in a 1/16" of the oil pan on the passengers side of the car.. the drivers side has the starter and the headers are maybe a 1" away from that... Now understand I am not saying a diaper will not fit the engine but it would be real expensive with the custom headers that would be required to make it work... so now that 85 dollar diaper just jumped to about 2600.. and you still do not know if it would even work... I did talk to TT about a pan and how to design in, he said that it has to go from frame rail to frame rail and have a 2" lip all the way around, which is fine but the headers are so low that I would have a problem sealing around that area... and honestly if I was building a containment device like that I sure would not want the hot headers trapped with the oil from a freshly ventilated block/oilpan if ya know what I mean...

Just curious.

No pics or video's of your car ... guess we don't need to know anything about my car
My car is not the one with diaper issues. I was just wondering ,maybe to offer some advice or a solution . I dont care for any other reason than to help. Oh well. Have fun running your stuff slow without one,hahahahaha. You dont need a pic of video of it ,I am telling you its fast as hell and if that one is not fast enough I know the other one is.
