AFAIK the only emissions-certified application for the B3.9 stateside was in some walk-through vans, yet the engine can be legally swapped into trucks within the same class.

Random/interesting idea, take a 5.9/6.7L cummings, disable 3 cylinders (and keep it balanced yet) and throw it in a small vehicle, small truck or rwd car.

IIRC there were some 3-cyl engines based on the same design for agricultural tractors from Case-IH and New Holland. On a sidenote, there was a time when it used to be common to fit a 3-cyl 2.9L Diesel engine into Ford F-1000 trucks in my country as an attempt to save fuel, even though it was clearly underpowered.
