Does anyone have any idea if any of these H-34 hulks could be turned into a viable and flyable project helicopter?

Yes, they'd be easy to restore, but you'll need a lot of money for the strangely (considering the lack of demand) expensive pits...rotor blades, engines, transmissions.
With helicopters, the basic airframe is the easy (and cheap) part.

What do you figure it would cost to have a set of main rotor blades overhauled?

I know about engine costs.

What about a transmission overhaul or overhaul parts?

Used to be plenty of surplus parts back in the early 90's irrc
