You're right, Murph, it's a hind view of a ring tailed lemur. I've never noticed the "eyes" on the buttocks, before. My guess is, they are there to scare off predators.

Wow. The only letter I can make out, is a capital Y.

There's something that kinda looks like "GTO", on the lower left corner of the cylindrical black piece, between the yellow cylinder heads

It would be helpful to know the application of this engine, but since it's not available, we're gonna hafta wing it.
True, the alternator does have that Mopar look, but the rest of the front of the engine does not. IE, the front timing cover doesn't have the Chrysler look. The front of the cylinder heads are raised indicating timing chains, and the wide valve covers suggest HEMI, but the absence of spark plug tubes, wires and/or coils, says NO! (And I've never known Chrysler to paint valve covers yellow, but Catepillar paints an entire engine yellow. The absence of a power steering pump suggests electric PS, as we already have them in today's vehicles, including electric AC compressors. So, if it's a diesel, why, in the EPA induced fuel mileage requirements, what application would call for a V-8 diesel? (We've already got a 3.0 liter V-6 diesel in the Grand Cherokee and the RAM 1500, and it makes adequate power for either of those applications). Ford has the Power Stroke V-8 diesel, and the General has the Duramax V-8 diesel, so unless Mopar is coming out with a new diesel that I've yet to see any info on, (and it wouldn't be Chrysler, it would be Fiat), I'm gonna go with Mercedes 'cause they've been known to put some pretty big engines in the cars and medium duty trucks, and I've never even heard of Dongfeng! Besides that, all of those bolts and nuts, (like the front crank pulley dampner), have that European look.
BTW, Mopar is coming out with an over 1000 hp HEMI for a new performance car.

It caught my attention because it resembled a HEMI.

Well, not the filthy HEMI in my truck.

I like your answer NJPiney but the truth is... it is an artist's drawing of a generic engine. I think It is for advertising where the company buying the image does not want to advertise for any particular brand.

I found the image here: www.blackstone-labs.com
Blackstone Laboratories most likely got it from one of those Royalty Free Engine Pictures, Images and Stock Photos sites.

Yes, it's a perspective drawing without shadows. Last night, I ran across the name of the artist, but I haven't found it again since.

I'd say your question about the brand name is a trick question.

Excellent, I need more coal. I had enough for my coal cars but not enough for the coal-burning locomotives. Nothing looks more like coal than coal. :D

I wouldn't be surprised if Santa, or one of his operatives, read your post. He's going to get you, sooner or later, for that generic engine trick. Don't mess with the North Pole mafia.
