aod in 79 bronco

I've got an extra aod sitting around and i'm thinking about putting it in my 79 bronco. I know that i will need an adapter for the 351m to bolt to it and i know the np205 will bolt to it, but will it be worth doing? i know that the aod is not as strong as the c6 in it but i need an overdrive to be able to keep driving it. I've considered the zf s542, but it seems to require a lot of work as the input shaft is too short and it requires a hydraulic clutch. Its also expensive and i already have the aod. Plus i wouldn't need to cut out an extra hole in the floor and the linkage should just bolt up to the c6's. Im basically wondering if i get a heavy duty rebuild kit, would it be worth doing? I'd love the overdrive but i dont wanna be pulling a fried transmission out in a year or so from the torque the engine makes. Sorry for the long post and thanks for any help.
