Default 2001 5.4 Radiator replacement

I notice that you can no longer get OEM Ford radiators. Does anyone have recommendations for a good brand of replacement radiators?
Also, can you substitute the towing radiator for the standard radiator - is it a drop in replacement? Or does it require different fittings?

thanks,
Todd

I have an O'Reilly Murray in mine. It's been a good unit. It seems like it came with adapters so you could use either size. There are two different sizes, depending on the trans you have.

SPECTRA PREMIUMCU2136 is a good unit and is the 2in 2 row. Since you are in Portland, don't you have a Performance Radiator there? If so, sometimes they have the oem original radiators in stock. We had one for 20 plus years but they left last fall.
