Probably be easier to look for when you know for sure what motor it is your after. But I'm with MuffinMan on this one. Best bet is use the phone and call your local junk yards. Before you look into internet shopping and having to pay shipping for a 3.0L/3.2L V6.

**** i meant j32a2 3.2 L duh, my bad guys. Another question is will it fit in replace of the j30a1 motor? Like are the motor mounts aligned the same for example? and is there any extra stuff I need to do in order for everything to run smooth, like an ecu or something.

It's the same series engine and it mounts in the same way.

Do not J series engines from SH-AWD cars.
