Okay, here's the answer to your interchangability question.

http://www.71corvette.com/frames.html

As to Frames being "nearly impossible to find", well if between this forum, eBay, and Google, if you can't find a 77 Auto frame for <$1500 then your computer must be low on Internet Fluid

These frames are everywhere, dude.

Welcome to the insanity

No problem. Just so you know, I wasn't trying to be a smart-***, just didn't want to look for you. If you check ebay right now there are 4-5 frames that'll fit your car, including an actual parts car w/good frame right in your backyard (Mount Morris MI)

The Hollander manual says that only 75-77 frames are directly interchangeable.
