The bracket that holds the radiator attaches to the frame at the location of the two holes in the frame that are closest to the front of the frame, just above the gusset on either side. The bracket itself was isolated from the frame with a web material. I used solid 1/4" rubber. The two rigid upper radiator hoses act as stabilizer at the top of the radiator. No need for any additional support from the firewall.
