An na is the first generation of Miata & nb is the second generation. If you are planning on a 5.0 swap, I would suggest the na because of the kit available from Monster Miata. Check your local emission laws BEFORE you do anything, or you might end up with a bad-*** car that you can not drive on public roads.

NA has pop up headlights and NB has fixed lights in the nose. The NB is said to offer a little more room for radiator and air intake duct. I wouldn't know for sure though 'cause all 8 of my Miatas have been NA's!
