No. The 3.0 Has its own bellhouse pattern. The 2.9, and 4.0 share the same bellhouse pattern.

On the A4LD the bell housing can be swapped.
On the manual trans they cannot be.

If you are wanting to bolt it up to a 4.0L you will need a 4.0L or 2.9L bellhousing. They are both the same (same as the 2.8L bellhousing as well) The 3.0L has its own bellhousing tho. You can unbolt the bellhousing from the front of the tranny and swap it over from the dead tranny to the working tranny.

FYI, the 4.0L and the 2.9L also share the same flexplate/flywheel, as both have the same part number
