variax 700 upgrades

I have a 1st gen Variax 700.  I upgraded my equipment to POD HD500.  Is there any modifications I can do (including replacing the brains entirely) that would allow that 700 to act like a JTV?  I hate having this beautiful instrument just hanging on a wall.  Put differently, can I buy the brains and wiring (minus the pickups) of a JTV and transplant it to a 700?

They're completely different processors, so there's no way the firmware in a 700 can be upgraded to match what's in a JTV. But as long as your 700 still works, there's no reason you can't use it with the HD500. It still works fine. You can still call up presets on the 700 with a patch change on the HD500 with the VDI connection.
