    Abstract: A snowmobile includes a forward frame assembly defining an engine bay. The forward frame assembly includes a nose frame assembly having a nose frame cross member positioned forward of the engine bay. An engine is positioned within the engine bay. A tunnel is coupled to the forward frame assembly and is positioned aft of the engine bay. A heat exchanger is coupled to a forward end of the tunnel. At least one aftward engine mount is configured to couple the engine to the heat exchanger. At least one forward engine mount is configured to couple the engine to the nose frame cross member. The at least one aftward engine mount has a mount axis that is oriented in a substantially radial direction relative to an axis of rotation of a track driveshaft.

    Abstract: An engine cooling system for a snowmobile that includes a forward frame assembly, an engine, a tunnel and a track driveshaft having an axis of rotation. The cooling system includes a heat exchanger that is coupled to the forward frame assembly and to the tunnel. The heat exchanger is positioned aft of the engine and is configured to transfer heat from a coolant fluid circulated through the engine and the heat exchanger. The heat exchanger includes a body having an arcuate section with a substantially constant radius of curvature and with a center of curvature proximate the axis of rotation of the track driveshaft.
