ABSTRACT:
An engine mounting assembly includes a pair of rear engine mounting bracket assemblies having offset mounting surfaces, an engine flywheel housing having complementary mounting surfaces, and a front mounting bracket which together provide a three-point mounting structure resulting in a significantly lowered mounting of the engine on a forward control bus chassis. The front mounting bracket includes a single point, vibration-isolated, engine mount to a lowered frame crossmember to provide vibration isolation in any direction while the rear brackets provide vertical and fore-and-aft vibration isolation. The front mounting bracket further includes a lower mount for supporting a vehicle radiator while upper stabilizing rods connect the upper portion of the radiator to the upper portion of the engine to stabilize the desired vertical position of the radiator perpendicular to the engine fan axis.
