ABSTRACT:
An internal combustion engine of the in-line type having a surge tank located above the engine. Intake tubes connect the surge tank with the in-line engine cylinders. The tubes extend from one side of the engine body in a direction away from the engine body and are then curved upwardly in a U-shaped manner toward the surge tank. Surge tank openings and the ends of the intake tubes connected together are both formed as ellipses having a major axis lying in a direction parallel to the cylinder axes. The cross-sectional shape of the intake tubes gradually changes from an ellipse into a circle at approximately the middle or bend of the intake tube.
