Could a Triple be put in a THruxton, America or Speedmaster?
Could a modern Triumph triple engine be easily or with minor mods put into a Modern Classic? I suppose not, but wouldn't that be the jackel's cackels? Who would know haw to do that?

I don't the 3 models you mention have enough space for the height of the triple motor. Also, my Legend's triple is integrated into the frame and it's water cooled.

Your best best would be to purchase a one of the triples already built like MikeG15 posted.
