Engine diapers

[mmissile]

What are guys doing with the diapers, to make the center-link pass thru? Same question for a belly-pan....where are the headers passing thru?

I sent a sketch of mine to; www.russerlli.com.
He sent one that fits well. Not super thick but I'm betting that it'll contain most as parts seldom launch.

Doug, I bought from the same guy after seeing your's posted on the other site, fits good , wish he'd have the metal buckles the more expensive ones do, but you get what you pay for.

No point on having one on my car. The center-link is very low.

I'd rather have something than nothing. Had two friends in the last two years that suffered broken rod failures. Both had diapers, neither case required any track clean-up. Not to mention many tracks won't let a sub 9.99 car to run without one. I haven't hurt the plastic buckle in 4 years, 380 passes

I had Ernie Build a belly pan on the 64, probably going to have him do one for this car also. I don't think it would catch as much as a diaper, but better then nothing, and easy on and off with Dzus fasteners. As a matter of fact I think you drove it to get powder coated. I raced the car at Milan and Norwalk, and neither track bent over to look at it. However, im sure if I didn't have it that would be the day they tech them. The pan butted up to the K-Frame cutout, and essentially use the K frame as part of the belly pan. I can try and find out a pic if you want.

I'll be putting a belly pan on mine. Easy to do with a dry sump. I can't imagine trying to do either with that super deep pan and low center link.

Dry-sumps are fine for a chassis car. They aren't reasonable/legal in a real door-car, like a stocker or super-stocker. We ran my wet-sump hemi to 8500, in my old pro-stocker, without any issues.
