Should be an easy rebuild at that level. Clutches, steels and seals.
Have you considered trying it yourself?

If you can handle a bit of a drive, Kilpatrick Engine and transmission in Waukesha, WI is one of the best in the SE Wisconsin area. They did a good job on my 727, rebuilt to 500 hp/lb-rt level. They are a good supporter of the hobby in this area as well. Can't help you with anything in Chicago but I would expect that there are a few good shops there.

I had Lee Kapusta rebuild my 727... he's highly recommended... located in nearby Roselle, IL.
phone 630-247-1627
He's very busy because he's amongst the very best for Mopar transmissions (904, 727, etc).

Sounds like the same history him and I have had. He has found religion now, I'm sure things are all better now. HaHa.
