Engine Diapers

Ronnie1858 · 03-05-2024, 08:31 PM

I have a 1971 Chevelle SS with a 454 BBC. Can the group suggest what type of engine diaper to use for this? I plan to use the usual engine mounts for now and I am not seeing anything at Summit or Jeg's that would work, those units seem to be made more for tube chassis cars.

Thanks.

DRE makes the best diapers now since Dennis Ridgeway is no longer at the helm.

1320, I believe he said he plans to use stock motor mounts. Will this or another diaper that they sell accommodate that? I don't think the one pictured would although it seems high quality.

I use a DRE diaper on my Nova (from the Dennis days, about 10 years ago) that has provisions for the stock motor mounts.

DRE hands down! They are very good and will custom build.
