I'm building (having it built) my original 68 barracuda 318 and am looking for a replacement transmission for my warn out 904. I've looked at Performance and like their lifetime warranty, also Hughes, but hard to find a dealer that carries 904's and of course the popular (not on this site) TCI. Although I've worked in a body shop for 31 years as a painter, am really only a nuts and bolts mechanic and not a trouble shooter so don't feel capable of rebuilding my own.
Although money IS an object, I want to do this once and forget it!
Any suggestions?

I mean take it to a local rebuilder and save some $.

Yeah, that's an option. 904's are getting rarer. Easy to find a parts changer, harder to find a knowledgeable rebuilder. Thought it might be easier to buy one from somebody who's already worked the bugs out through trial and error.

Same here but, watched the videos recommended from here. There is probably a how to thread. Forty-five minutes to tear down and I think 3-4 hours reassembly. One issue, bad governor which I swapped it out in the car. Zero issues and I think cost me about $250 in parts.

Ok you've convinced me to at least look into it
 
I've had 3 904 rebuilt locally, one for 400hp 360 which I took to strip on occasion. They held up fine, find someone reputable locally and you should be good.
 
I have a fully built 904 with CRT parts with only 1000 street miles. Built to handle power and even a dynamic converter too
