Hey, my names Gavin and I'm new to this forum. I was hoping you guys could help me clear something up. I was curious if the 4R44E from my friends 1995 3.0 2wd would fit in place of my 4R44E from my 1999 2.5 2wd. Thanks

No, different bolt pattern

You can swap bell housings but requires some rebuilding since rear of bell housing is part of the Main pump inside the automatic trans
If you are unfamiliar with this then I would not attempt it
May be worth a call to a transmission shop to ask how much they would charge to do it, but their problem would be "warranty", if there was a problem after you put transmission in you could think they did something wrong, so they probably won't do it

2.3l and 2.5l Lima engines have unique bolt pattern, you can use the 4R44E from a 1995 to 2000 2.3l or 2.5l Ranger or Mazda B-2300/2500 2wd
In 2001/2 Ford changed to the 2.3l Duratec engine, which won't fit your 2.5l either
