A turbine engine is disclosed that includes a fan case surrounding a fan. A core is supported relative to the fan case by support structure, such as flow exit guide vanes, which are arranged downstream from the fan. The core includes a core housing having an inlet case arranged to receive airflow from the fan. A compressor case is arranged axially adjacent to the inlet case and surrounds a compressor stage. In one example, the example turbine engine includes a gear train arranged between the fan and a spool. The gear train is axially aligned and supported by the inlet case. An intermediate case is arranged axially adjacent to the compressor case. The support structure is arranged axially forward of the intermediate case. In one example, the support structure is axially aligned with the compressor case.
