lots of companys make universal kits that will work on a 3s.
the oil filter thread is 3/4-16 (fords and several others also use this thread pattern) so basicly any kit that has that thread pattern on the part that bolts to the block will work.
i made my own for my 5sfte, which is basicly along the same idea as you would need for a 3s, i used the canton racing block adapter and a cheaper trans-dapt filter adapter, and ran SS braided -10an lines with the appropriate swivel seal fittings from earls.
a bit on the expensive side, but provided you run the lines right you should never have a problem with it.

Make sure you hook it up correctly and you use the correct hose size. I thought I did. I lost oil pressure and my poor little turbo died. I think I also killed it cause I added an oil cooler too. It gave me an excuse to upgrade the turbo.
