Aftermarket Transmission

Yes but we have been discussing putting a rebuilt 727 in it because my 904 probably will not hold up the next few years

Just build the 904. It should live happily behind a street 360 - guys use them as race transmissions all the time. Saves you the time/effort/money of tracking down a small block 727 (typically more expensive than a big block 727) and you can use what you've got until you really need something else.

Hmmmmmm.....  That would definitely be easier/cheaper. If I built that up would it hold up well under some hard driving for the next few years?

They also told me that I could buy a transmission for my car and when I upgrade to a 440 all I will need is a big block torque converter not a whole new transmission

As you have already been told a small block transmission don't bolt up to a big block. Now for the good news a 518 OD transmission will bolt right up to your small block, plus when you drop in your 440 you can get an adapter kit to put the 518 behind your big block. This can be done for less than the cost of a Gear Vender set up.
