I don't think there's one that's not electronic. You could probably go with
a E4OD, but you'll have to add a controller to it. The only non electronic
4 Speed was the AOD, but you won't find one to fit your bell housing pattern
I don't think. Besides, it's really not strong enough for your application.

I don't recall any Ford produced OD's for an FE engine
pattern. They have been behind the Ford small block V8's,
the 300 six and the 429/460 as well as the Diesel. The
current incarnation of the E4OD is behind the 5.4L V8 and
the V10. Your best bet is probably a Gear Vendors unit
which mounts to the rear of your C6. Take a look here:
