Just for your information:
68000 uses the BIG INDIAN format for processor instructions.
the Z80 uses the opposite.

If there were such an assembly code converter, it would have
to exchange the code to its right place. However, it is not so
simple, data would also be inadvertently exchanged.

That is why there is no assembly code exchange.
