Power train for front and rear wheel drive vehicle

A power train for a front and rear wheel drive vehicle, comprising

• an engine having a crankshaft;
• a first output shaft on one side of said crankshaft and parallel thereto;
• a second output shaft on the other side of said crankshaft from said first output shaft and parallel thereto;
• power transmission means for transmitting power from said first output shaft and said second output shaft to the vehicle wheels for front and rear wheel drive;
• and
• a speed change transmission coupled between said crankshaft and said second output shaft, said first output shaft being driven by said second output shaft.
