An intake manifold with a throttle body assembled thereon is disposed in the V-shaped space and positioned with the throttle body disposed over the transmission case, providing a space close to the crank pulley. At least one accessory actuatable by the crank pulley is disposed in the last-mentioned space. The accessory is mounted on a bracket mounted on the cylinder banks. An engine mount bracket for supporting the engine on a vehicle frame projects integrally from the bracket.
