My vote is that the drive shaft isn't sliding in and out of your
transmsission properly. When the rear wheels hit a bump, the driveshaft
forces the engine/transmission assembly forward into the radiator. Oh, and
Soft motor mounts like everyone else says.
Also, earlier cars with metal fans have a metal spacer between the waterpump
pulley and the fan. This should not be used between the two belt pulley and
the plastic fan on a later 1275.
