Unfortunately, Advanced Adapters stopped making these earlier this year. I had to scramble to find one.

I'd look for an adapter for a ZF6 to FE instead of the ZF5. Just my opinion if you're going to be getting an adapter. Other than a new transmission like the Tremec TR4050 that came out this year, you're stuck with a gear vendors unit for overdrive.

Here is a ZF adapter for an FE. You need to spec out a 2002-2010 SD modular gas ZF-6 tranny:

A diesel trans has a different bell pattern.
It seems the TR-4050 is a 5 speed only for 4wd use with no application for an FE yet:
