OT: Replacement radiators

I was looking to replace my radiator with a new FoMoCo one, but I understand they've been discontinued. Can anyone recommend a specific aftermarket brand they've had good luck with? I'm concerned about the quality of the aftermarkets.

if you are replacing i would up-grade to a 3 row/core seen some deals on ebay and many mustang vendors.

I have had good luck with the Pep Boys 3 core replacement. Bought it a year ago for about $140. We do alot of parades in the Phoenix heat and no issues so far. Only concession was trimming the rubber mounts to fit the larger tanks.

I was putting 25k miles/year on my '89, but 3 weeks ago that stopped when I bought a Ranger pickup for the commute.

I bought one at O'Reilly's auto parts and it fit perfect.
