I set mine on pins and set them in the holes that are in the bottom of the factory core support.
90s Dodge Dakota rubber mounts fit the holes perfect.
Will get some pics of my rad tomorrow if I get the chance.

This is how I mounted mine. I used straight brake line as spacers, and 1/4" bolts. Cheap and easy. codfish

On mine, I used some aluminum channel for the bottom, so it sits in a "saddle" like a GM car or truck; then I fabbed 2 aluminum "L" brackets to hold the top. Some foam rubber strips insulate the radiator from the saddle & brackets.
Light weight and easy to pull the radiator if needed. The saddle mounts to the bottom of the radiator support, and the top brackets are mounted to the upper tie bar (aka upper yoke).
This is pretty much how I did mine but since it leans
back quite a bit the top has a bracket on the rad
and I use a strut back to the engine... I also use
2 brackets as clamps on the bottom to hold it down

I use 2 pieces of aluminum angle at the top to attach/hang the readiator to the core support and then use 1/4" bolts with spacers at the bottom to pull it up to the core support.
