Snark-based G->X

Surely someone has thought of this already, but it occurred to me today that a G->H or other conduit might be creatable from the Snark by replacing one of the eater 1's with a bait still life, and then hooking up other catalysts to restore the bait. I know the subject of trying to make a converter based off the Snark has been brought up before, but the idea was somewhat different.

Here's some example seeds that I found interesting - all involving loaves, because from my testing the loaves seemed to give the most promising results (but its entirely possible that some other still life is better) :
