No they will not, the cylinder heads/ cams are not the same design.

I think I've seen it done but with a lot of work that I wouldn't conside worth it. They do make after market cams for the a3

I'm pretty sure that this has been covered numerous times already, I know that I've seen this same question pop up about once every other month, lol.

Does that mean K20A ITR cams won't fit in K20A3s either?

Never fails this question comes up atleast once a month. The k20a, k20a2, k24a2 cams will not work on a k20a3 head. Three lobe and two lobe cams are not interchangeable period....I can be made to work but the work and cost outweighs the benefits. You are better off going aftermarket.
