You're the chode. There is nothing in common between an all aluminum modern block vs an old closed deck cast iron block.
I personally rebuilt a 96 miata engine that overheated with an oversized honda radiator on it, and it ran fine for years before that, and literally the only thing that caused it to overheat and warp the head and blow the hg was the honda radiator. This was a street car too.
But please, tell me more about all the miata's with honda radiators that you've run? You ARE speaking from experience obviously, to be this confident........right?

Coadingparadox(sp?) Has ran this setup on his car for a couple years. With a full size 2 core rad the car never got hot, the smaller 3 core rad...WITHOUT an a/a intercooler core and oil cooler sitting right in front of it and with a reroute should be more than enough cooling for my application.

What planet are you on? The fact that you managed to melt down one singular Miata engine isn't an argument for anything. And, you still haven't done anything to support your argument other than get mad. I said that his setup should work, and now you're agreeing with me and still acting like I'm the dumb ***.

Go ask Savington, Emilio, or any knowledgeable miata company/track racer what they think about your statement and learn for yourself. The fact that you're arguing using some retarded vague blanket statements tells me you know dick all about the topic, and have all of zero experience with it.
So far the ratio of documented well working small radiator setups is slim to none. Only reason I am encouraging OP is because he's a smart guy, a competitive racer and fabricator, and I know he'll be able to overcome the obstacles that come with this sort of setup. I was in no way agreeing with you saying that it should work because it works for some street driven honda somwhere
Take from what what you will.

The Miata lives again. Just started it....stared on the first crank. Spare blower is on the car, new transmission installed, new clutch and pressure plate installed, new lower temp thermostat installed, new 36-2 crank trigger wheel installed, new shifter in (the new gearbox combined with this shifter....feels like a bolt action rifle).......I think I'm going to take a short breather and finish up.

Nice edit Leafy.

It might be better to vent the gasses to atmo instead of going into the intake with them. Oil vapor has a lot lower octane rating that gasoline and the chance of generating knock in a supercharged car is greater than if vented to atmosphere.
