Depending on where you are, I'd recommend reaching out and seeing if folks on here are local to you. Offer to lend a hand, hang out, show up with beer and pick their brain. It's a pretty great way to get your mind off things.
Hope things look up for your family.

There is absolutely not reason to use a water to air IC in a miata. It will be more complicated and not work any better then a normal air to air IC. They are good, when you don't have room to run a regular IC. The miata nose has plenty of room for the IC up front, so that is not an issue.

The only reason to even consider an air-water is if you're supercharged and throttled volume is critical (even then I don't think it's worth it). Or if you are building an autocross car, and want to keep an ice bucket in your car to super cool the air charge for short periods of time.

in my mind, the only limitation is size. I don't wanna hack up the front end to fit a giant cooler. other than that, you can run as big as you want with no observable ill effects.
otherwise, like was already said: no such thing as too much cooler
don't try to think outside the box on this. this isn't one of those areas where you have to be creative. the legwork is done, reap it's rewards and stop wasting time looking at stupid water/air coolers. that's just dumb
