I hate to say it, but I don’t know. I did the engine and tranny swap together. The main reason I did the swap was for cruising. I have a 355 rear so cruising at 70 was around 3300 rpm now it’s around 2300 rpm’s

LoneStar, that's a great looking 77. My 77 is getting a serious face lift with an overdrive and suspension mods from VPB.
Got a little rust to deal with first.

Thanks! I picked it up in May and was so glad to find it. There are a lot nicer cars here than mine but I thought it was a great start to enter the Corvette world. C3's Rock!
