Sorry to hear your's is toast. You'll want an engine out of an awd FX. 2003-2008 should be fine. An awd G might work?

I actually have an engine sitting in my garage with 79k. All it needs is an upper oil pan replacement and I have that too. Not sure if I'm going to swap it or not because my engine still runs great.

That sucks. This area that's been leaking must've just given way and went from a leak to a flow. Sorry to hear that.

Thanks... what about the M35 is that a possibility too? Any suggestions on sourcing a motor or even shops near Western PA?

There are multiple varieties of the VQ35DE depending on its application. I believe there is a VIN code that needs to be matched. At the very least, you would need a RWD or AWD (depending on your FX) as our engines mount longitudinally, and the AWD versions have drive components run through the oil pan.
