I wish I could run endplates on canards and I could run a diffuser.

Below is the last piece that I tried before I ran out of argon. I still have no clue what I am doing, but am slowly starting to learn.

Anything is possible, but attaching a B-series honda head or something like that would be easier. But that's not going to happen.
More likely would be me finally sticking a NB head on one of the spintrons and seeing what works and what doesn't. But that's also not going to happen.

Seems like it would be less than (or nearly equal to) the diameter of a reasonably-sized roller, not to mention that you'd still need to engineer in some free space to be taken up by a under-bucket shim.

Ok...I'll enter my weaksauce submissions.
Aside from the random brackets to mount this and that, here's a bracket fabbed to mount LS coils to the 1.6 valve cover via some no longer used bolt holes:
I welded a mounting plate for an AN fitting in a similar location as a MSM oil pan drain on the 1.8 pan for my new build:
I also made a T3 manifold and 2.5" downpipe based on a JGS kit for the old 1.6. It's jigged off my first manifold attempt. Just wish I had access to a tig welder for that one:
