Just to let everyone know,,,,,engine diapers are shipping out daily. For those of you who haven't ordered one yet. We are working on about a 1 week lead time at the moment.

what about accomodating an engine limiter? I'm using one of the motor mount bosses on the passenger side of the block to mount the limiter that goes between the motor and the frame rail...

Engine limiters are not an issue. We make the same style cutout that we would to accomodate motormounts. Same thing goes for the limiter off the ac bracket. We just need a couple of measurements.

Kevlar will take 900 degrees. If we use the kevlar liner, with the aluminized shield, you can rest the header on the diaper. If we use the ballistic nylon with the aluminized shield, within 2", just the nylon, at least 2". These are a safe guestimate!!!

tell me how big of a fire you will have at 180 mph . No foam alowed by NHRA with halon going out. There are not that much stuff left. I have a fire system. You do some search of fires and tell me a 10 lb system is going to put a oil filled bag out. when it is under the engine and the nozels are on top its just not plus cars with stock front ends , you have to run eveything stuffed on top of each other, where in most cars that are faster than 7.50 are tube cars that allow more room to get the exhaust away from the engine. I think that sub 7.50 yes slower than that no. with turbos you have so much hot pipe and it keeps heat in the motor. i dont agree with them at 9.99

There is a set-up sheet you can fill out for specific dimensions on where your accessories are mounted so they can fit the diaper around them.

You won't be happy with the fit of the universal one. Especially on the Ls engines.

well I took a chance on it and I am extremely happy.
it fits like a glove.

unfortunately, the sale ended and the price is back at 119.99

the front flap also completely covers the front of the pan, and the side flaps go almost all the way to the cylinder head

for those of you that think that after some pass it will catch some oil and can lead to a fire ( turbo guys), I would like to know if you could simply wash the diaper and reuse it or in the worst case recharge it with absorbant material? or it's a unique usage device???

Thanks,
