While the 8080 used different encoding for the ops, most 8008
instructions have a 1:1 mapping on the 8080 (and therefore, Z-80).
Writing a translator for the binary should be doable (I won't say
trivial, since self-modifying code is probably involved).
If you have assembler source, just assemble it with an 8080 assembler.
(still need to fix any self-modifying parts :)

It can't be that big, the 8008 could only address 16K of memory....
