    My "Be Cool" radiator has the tabs like yours. Mounting kits with bolts, springs, and pads like Roger showed are available from the Ford Catalogs (Drake, Mac's, and ebay). My radiator needed to be forward so I have homemade side mounts reaching near the top to cradle the sides in place. The radiator needs to be rubber cushioned every where you mount or touch it. As said the frame will flex, the fenders will flex, and don't forget you have hot metal in the radiator expanding at a different rate than the steel mounts. Mount it letting the rubber and springs being free enough to let it move.
