A V-engine for permitting the engine to be more compact and easy to assemble and to improve engine cooling performance. In a first embodiment, the branch pipes of the intake manifold of the engine extend at an acute inclined angle with respect to the centerline of the crankshaft. This inclined arrangement provides a space through which the cooling water intake pipe and the cooling water discharging pipe can extend. In a second embodiment, the surge tanks of the intake manifold are longitudinally offset to provide spaces in which the thermohousing of the thermostat mounted on the cooling water intake pipe and the cooling water discharging pipe can be mounted. In a third embodiment the axis of an auxiliary machine, such as a generator, is laterally offset from the centerline of the engine crankshaft to provide a gap and the cooling water pipe extends through the gap.
