I might be down for a swap like that. Would have to get a harness and computer, which is the bad part, especially for install. Also the torque curve may not be ideal for off road.

As far as low mileage JDM vs one I find somewhere else, which would be hard to find, what is the difference. I doubt either will be hooked up to run, both I can look at in person. Would be nice to start up. The last time I looked for a used 3.5 I was able to fire one up locally that was in "great condition".(barely started) Wow, it was completely destroyed, butterflys swallowed AND crank pulley falling off. Those unfortunately are the standards of a 3.5. Most people have no clue about the ticking time bombs. BUT, WE DO and we still ruined a perfectly good engine due to a couple of last pressed in bushings that fell out. That will never happen again, but regardless its so hard to know if an engine lunched the butterflys, and most have by now.
