Are you SURE that it's a 400? All 77 automatics were originally fitted with the 350.

Look at the shape of the pan, it will help you determine which transmission you have.

I’ve called two different places then they recommend me to ask on this forum. Surely someone knows the answer.

In '77 the L-48 came with the Turbo 350, but the L-82 came with the Turbo 400. It cost an additional $146 when ordering the automatic with an L-82 .GUSTO
