ABSTRACT:
A power unit for a front drive vehicle having a horizontally opposed engine mounted longitudinally, a clutch, a transmission and a differential, in which a differential housing integrally formed with a transmission housing is disposed at a space adjacent to the frontally offset cylinder block of left or right cylinder blocks and a left and right axle shaft is extended from the differential housing respectively. Further, the differential housing is connected by a fastening bolt with a slide bush to a lower case of the engine so as to support the reaction force derived from the axle shafts. The power unit thus constituted offers a short length of a front overhang of the vehicle and the compactness of a power unit.
