There already is a simulator for that machine: see its entry at
http://www.math.utah.edu/~beebe/vm.html
where there is a link to a paper on it. I don't know whether the code
is available.
The problem for both CDC 6x00/7x00 and Cray systems is that the
software that supplied the operating systems (Scope, Kronos, ...) and
compilers for Fortran and Pascal (and for later, Crays, C) is unlikely
to be available (at least, legally).
I worked on a 6400 under both Scope and Kronos, and have fond memories
of them, because I could leave punched cards behind forever.
