	GM 60-Degree V6 engine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The General Motors 60° V6 family of engines engines began with the 1978 Buick 3.2 L V6 and continues to be produced today (if you don't count a larger block casting with larger bore center and new cylinder heads).
		Like the rest of the generation I engines, they were updated in 1985 with larger main journals for durability and MPFI and OBD I.
		Importation of Chinese-built engines to the United States began in 2004 with the LNJ found in the Chevrolet Equinox.

	Longitudinal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The term, longitudinal means "front-to-back" or "top-to-bottom" as opposed to transverse which means "side-to-side".
		In automotive engineering, a longitudinal engine is an engine in which the crankshaft is oriented along the long axis of the vehicle, front to back.

	The Design and Construction of Railway Shops (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		An engine house recently erected by the Grand Trunk Railway at Lindsay (under the supervision of the author) is 250 by 62 ft. It has two through tracks, with continuous ash-pits for 10 running engines, one through track for engines under repair, being washed out or waiting under steam between trains.
		Each engine on a general average, occupying a stall for two months, gives the output of repaired engines for an erecting shop containing ten stalls as 60, which multiplied by the average mileage of 67,000 totals to 4,020,000, a sum just in excess of the mileage during the same period by the 80 effective engines.
		Engines sometimes had to wait for pit room or for painting, and he was of the opinion that 4 to 5 per cent.

	Interlocking ring fan jet engine support system - Patent 5183223
		Longitudinal thermal expansion is accommodated by slippage of the tabs along the grooves in a longitudinal direction.
		Since the engine is relatively narrow and "wasp waisted", it is subject to bending and flexing in operation causing a number of problems, such as metal fatigue, fastener loosening, etc. Also, these movements can lead to increased turbine blade clearances and lower engine efficiency with resulting lower fuel efficiency.
		Engine core 20 is enclosed in core cowl 24 which is mounted at its forward end to nacelle 16 by supports 22.

	Transverse engine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A two cylinder two stroke engine mounted transversely in a 1955 Saab 92B.
		A transverse engine is an engine in which the crankshaft is oriented side-to-side relative to the wheels of the vehicle.
		Most front wheel drive vehicles use this engine orientation, while most rear wheel drive vehicles use a front-to-back longitudinal arrangement.

	Maximum-Cars.com - 2004 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Info and Specifications
		The high-performance V8 engine, mounted on a robust aluminium frame, is installed at a low level which allows a low centre of gravity for agile handling.
		In addition, the front mid-engined design of the new SLR allows the engine and transmission to be positioned near the centre of the vehicle, ensuring, in combination with a chassis design adopted from motor racing, optimum handling and an incomparable driving experience.
		The carbon fibre composite members are bolted onto the aluminium structure of the engine mounts; at the front they are connected to the remaining bodyshell structure by means of a cross member and a horizontal sandwich panel made from carbon fibre composite.

	Audi A4 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Like the Passat, it had a longitudinally-mounted engine and standard front wheel drive, although the vast majority of A4s Audi sells come optioned with their quattro all wheel drive system.
		The 1.9 TDI engine was upgraded to 130 PS and was now available with quattro, while the 2.5 V6 TDI high-end model was introduced with 180 PS (132 kW) and standard quattro.
		The engine lineup received many additions, the most notable of which was the introduction of Fuel Stratified Injection on the new 2.0 TSFI and 3.2 V6 FSI, respectively capable of 200 and 255 PS (147 and 188 kW), although these engines dropped the five-valve design in favor of the more widely known four valves per cylinder configuration.

	Transverse vs. longitudinal engine mounting - visordown
		An example of a transversely mounted inline 4 is an R1, crankshaft across the frame, gearbox on the bottom, final drive output at the side of the engine.
		Rev Fred: [Tricky is] a sort of genetically modified mutation of Jeremy Beadle crossed with Stimpy from Ren and Stimpy.
		Longitudinal mounting definitely suits a shaftie better but it's not a requirement as such.

	Front wheel drive
		Front wheel drive was further advanced by the now-legendary Mini of 1959 although its mechanical layout differed from modern vehicles, since the tranmission was built into the sump of the engine, and drive was transferred to it via a set of primary gears.
		Audi pioneered the "U-Drive" layout where the engine is mounted longitudinally, in an "overhung" position over the front wheels.
		The Oldsmobile Toronado, which reintroduced front-drive to the U.S. market in 1966, also used a longitudinal engine placement for its V-8, coupled with an unusual "split" transmission, which turned the engine power 90 degrees.

	hondanews.com > Honda Innovation - 2003 FourTrax Rincon
		Perhaps the most illustrative example of this is the powerful efficiency of Honda's longitudinal engine and driveline layout introduced on the 1995 Foreman(R) 400, and currently found in the Foreman 450, Recon(R), Rancher(TM), Rubicon(TM) and Rincon models.
		Honda's longitudinal engine also rides low enough in the frame to optimize ground clearance and define a low seat height, a difficult accomplishment in ATV design.
		Honda engineers have put untold hours of development into exactly what it takes to start an ATV engine thousands of times under the most demanding conditions so you never have to worry about it.

	Ferrari 360 Spider (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Despite the car's mid-mounted 400bhp V8 engine, Ferrari engineers found a way of creating a roof that automatically folds into its own well between the cabin and the engine bay, thus ensuring purity of line.
		The intrinsic quality of the design is underlined by the two fairings in the bodywork to the rear of the seats which evoke memories of classic Ferraris.
		The oil tank is placed, F1-style, on the spacer between the longitudinal engine and unitary gearbox.

	Popular Mechanics - Test: Honda’s Newest ATV
		The interface of the teeth ensures that power is transferred smoothly and evenly from the engine to each wheel and creates a torque ratio between the two wheels when one is slipping.
		A longitudinal powertrain/engine setup doesn’t provide enough space to accommodate some necessary parts of an OHC engine, such as the air intake port and the exhaust port.
		To further reduce the engine height of this ATV, the engine oil tank is located on the front of the engine cases, providing for an even lower center of gravity.

		Most front wheel drive vehicles today feature transverse engine mounting, though many in prior decades were positioned longitudinally instead.
		Front wheel drive was further advanced by the now-legendary Mini of 1959 (even if Saab 92 predates it) although its mechanical layout differed from modern vehicles, since the transmission was built into the sump of the engine, and drive was transferred to it via a set of primary gears.
		Reasons cited for the enormous engine are smoothness due to the inertia of the engine soaking up much of the vibration caused by low milling tolerances of the era, resulting in a very smooth ride.

		It is a 90 degree V. It is not an engine that would fit in a transverse layout.
		It wouldn't retrofit into anything now but could be easily engineered to fit in the forthcoming generation of VW's.
		It could even be turned towards the rear of the car on the transverse axis and set back behind the shock towers, offsetting some of the steering/plowing/weight problems on the current VR6 cars.
