Is a Turbo HMMWV Engine Mounted in the Engine Bay Off Axis?

[GTUnit]

11 Series Turo HMMWV, When looking from the front of the engine bay down the center axis of the vehicle... is the engine mounted and aligned along this center axis (like practically all other modern cars) or is the motor angled to one side a bit?

They all are to the right a little.

Wait till you have to work on the right side.

Which is the wrong side, CAMO

They are all to the right allot! and at an angle.

Thanks guys. First time I had that perspective, and it was not a good feeling.

All because they ditched the Deutz 6 aircooled in "favor" of the GM 6.2L.

And it gave you the cantilever steering box, too.

That Deutz was underpowered. And in desert conflict I bet it would have failed.

I have an oil cooled Deutz in my 863 skid loader. a very small 4 cyl. makes 73HP.
And no coolant per-say so no corrosion, I am impressed, the oil cooled do make more HP for a given size than the "air cooled" (they still have oil coolers that are very important)
Of course I have no knowledge of what they were stuffing in the HMMWV and the Deutz does not seem like a likely automotive engine, great as power units.

Someone on this forum (for all I know it was you ) posted images of the first test project/demo HMMWV. It had that Deutz air cooled engine. It was a much lighter concept vehicle.

I saw three prototype Hummv's at the Yuma Proving Grounds back in the early 80's.

One was from Teledyne, one from AMG, I don't remember who built the third.

The AMG was a very neat truck at the time. The others looks like "hurried" projects.
