Have you tried Parts Group (just north of Birmingham) or Treasure Coast Miata (East FL)? I just bought a radiator from Parts Group and they were really easy to deal with. If nothing else, you could just go pick it up from them and avoid shipping... www.partsgroup.com/

Get it running? Are you leaving C Stock? I'll tell you what, buy me a racing beat header and I'll buy you an '01.

Whatever Dan's engine had it was contagious. Dan's has recovered fully, but CJ's is now down with the same illness
