If I remember correctly the 3.0 has a different bolt pattern than the 4.0, 2.9, and the 2.3.

3.0 is different that the others. An M5OD, is best choice, but early 3.0 Aerostar vans had a 5sp, ToyoKogo I believe (AllenD?) but the M5OD is better I believe, and should be a bolt in with a donor truck.

Only a 3.0 case will fit, but if you can find a 2.3 version of the trans
I have a few 3.0 bare cases and you could then swap your internal parts over...

At that point you'd be better off just selling the 4wd trans and buying a 2wd. You'd make money in the process and save a lot of time.
