The KB unit is a top mount unit and the manifold (which is how it mounts) wont fit the 3v engine, a whole new manifold needs to be made and cast which isn't cheap and the reason why there isn't a 3v kit on the market.

I have learnt quite a bit just reading his build threads. His contributions are often utilised by other members.

Not to cut Chris's grass here....but,

Youre only realistic option is the 2005 F-150 3v Whipple kit.

About 5K USD

So that would sound the same as the BPT kit with a 2.9l Whipple W175 instead of the M122H Eaton.
