Is a 77 hood longer than a 75? I thought they were the same from 73 to 82....correct?

No.

Yes and no. Styles and latch hardware can vary between model years. Hood supports can vary. The 82 hoods are one year only due to the CFI ducting.

What are you wanting to do?

73 to 76 will fit, really the 76 is a one year only since they did not have the cowl-air induction system. The next years have different latch assemblies and will not exchange with the earlier years.

BostonCamaro has an aftermarket hood. It's long style, meaning 73 and later. It should not be physically longer than any 73-82 hood.
