you can get an FS from mazda auto recyclers that'll give you change out of $3k...if you are willing to put in some extra work, you can get a cheaper FS from a 626 and swap the stuff thats different over (cam and crank sensors, a few other bits of the harness so the SP20 ecu will plug in).

for $4k, you could nearly have the thing built!

edit: if they were just going to laugh your claim off, what was with getting the head crack tested and so forth? hope your not out of pocket for unrelated/unnecessary tests. Pulling the manifold off and noticing that your VICS butterfly was missing should have satisfied them that it was the culprit for the blow up.
