sorry bout that i must have read it wrong i don't know if it'd work but get a ruler and take some measurements of what you need and take it down to a speed shop I'm sure they could look em up that way

The thottle body spacers are useless on our cars.
There is not need for added plenum volume on the 1.6 sohc.

the cam probably would free up a few ponies.

nothing from the b8/bp will swap over (except rods and a few select things)
The b8/bp is physically 22 mm longer than the b6 engine , sucks i know.

contact webcams? see if they can regrind one for you, you probably would have to supply the core.
