Getting a hold of a 409 produced as close to his cars production date wouldn't be easy, but just having a 409 in the hole again would be cool.
Cool yes - but probably a money losing situation.

In My Opinion . . . I would sell it as is for whatever you could get for it and call it a day. Projects like the one you are suggesting take lots of money and LOTS of time to complete. I would think you would want to at least break even on the money and frankly I just don't see how. You car needs so much because it has so little to start with.
