Hmm, a 400 pontiac engine would probably be worth a fair bit to the guy who needs one.
If it were me I wouldn't build it up unless it was going back into a second gen Trans-am. Dollar for dollar you can get more power out of an SBC or BBC setup. High perf parts for a pontiac engine like that are more expensive.

its most likely going to stay in the truck (i like its look) as long as the frame isn't rotted and isn't a total rusted pos , the bed needs to be replaced or alot of body work
