The thermostat doesn't come with the housing, if you're talking about the "pipe" that comes in over the thermostat. Quality brass thermostats with proper bleed holes can be had at mazda for like ten bucks. I know it's steep for a thermostat, but they're good quality and they'll last a long time. You dont' want to take any shortcuts with cooling in a rotary because they're very sensitive to heat and overheating.
As for rads... well I don't know where you can get one cheap, but usually there are local radiator and gas tank shops that can hook you up with a properly rod-out used one for a good price. Radiators aren't exactly the most exotic parts of our cars, so check all your local auto parts stores for them, and get the best priced one.
