Ford Fest Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 Curious if anyone has installed a KB 3.6 on a KR? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fcettner Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 I considered it but 2.8LC making 700 HP is plenty of power for me in the KR. You will have to lower the engine and notch the KR hood for fitment of a KB blower as I did. The engine strut bar will not fit with a 3.6 by about 1". I like the handling support with the KR strut bar especialy when your nailing it with torque. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GallopingFord Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 I wonder how badly you would have to modify the hood to fit with the 3.6LC. Fcettner, were you able to put the stock tower brace on with the 2.8? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fcettner Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 Yes - stock Tower Brace works with 2.8. 3.6 would fit but then the Tower Brace would not. The larger blower sits higher in engine bay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GallopingFord Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 So just go I get this right. The 3.6 can fit (without the brace) with lowering mounts and notching the hood a little? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to take some measurements before I say it fits. I'll report my findings after some research. Fred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
