According to Kat's, the Kat's Heaters Custom Fit Engine Block Heater part # KH11812 will need to be installed on the drivers side of the engine in the cavity closest to the cab. This location is depicted at "LR" in the attached photo. Unfortunately, we have yet to install this heater on 3.5L V6 Kia engine therefore, I would not be able to provide an additional installation tips.
