Probably, either an M5OD from a 04-08 truck for sure (maybe 97-03 as well) or a ZF from a fullsize gasser.
The ZF would probably be better for durability but neither is really suited for what a Raptor is.
You could get a manual t-case in the 04-08's.

I can see some serious fitment issues from that stupid huge center console involved in this idea.

The M5OD won't like being strapped to either a 5.4 or 6.2 and the ZF is geared to pull houses not win off road races.

I dunno, the 6R80 is a pretty strong trans.
