I wish someone would restore it, but it would have to be someone who knew how to weld body panels and have a donar car. Reality would dictate the drive train is worth $6K to someone, but more often than not the seller thinks a car like this car is worth $10K.
I searched for over 10 years trying to find a WC block for my 69 350 HO with no luck. I then came to the conclusion that even if I did find it, it would never be numbers matching anyway, so why go to all the trouble? I put a 400 in it and it runs fine.
I agree this will probably wind up in a 350 car and there's nothing wrong with that. Better to have one more 400 clone running around than a car like this rot in a field until it's too late.
