That's a shame. Wish I would have known you wanted to come, I would have looked it over more thoroughly for you. There's another one around here with a 440 in it, been on the lot for years, and it's got rust peeking through in places.

Carrman, No problem, good day for a drive. They used hose clamps to secure the A/C high side hose from the compressor to condenser. I wouldn't have got close to that hose when they charged the system!

Thanks,

Nice Job on A/C hoses

I can go down and get the hood opened to see if it's a big block or small, but when it comes to telling a B from an RB I'll be a bit lost.

A real easy way to tell a B from an RB engine...

In '77, you got the 440 standard, and the 400 was optional. I don't believe the 360 was a New Yorker option in 1977, but I might be incorrect. Anyone have a '77 order form or dealer brochure?

I'm sure the seller was too damn lazy to bother changing the engine indication in the ad. Everything he sells is probably 350-powered; i.e. Chevy.

More than likely a the 440 or 400 like Patrick says lazy seller

It has a two hitch but that don't mean everything

measure the distance between the valve-covers side to side of whichever BB you have handy for comparison and take your tape w/ you

or you could just check the VIN s_dancing2:

In 1977, 440 standard, 400 and 360 are optional motors.

This one is a E64 400.

1978 NY'ers had the 400 standard with a 440 and a 360 as optional motors.

No fender skirts.........$2500

It is a great buy at $2500.

Minimal rust, looks like the roof rail seals are in great shape. Fender skirts might be in the trunk.

A couple of hundred bucks and any hydraulic shop can rebuild them. They last another 40 years. I had mine done in Delaware.

Except for high altitude areas. In 77, all high altitude areas, the 360 was standard with the 400 & 440 being an option. I know this because my 77 from Colorado had the paperwork.

The absolute easiest way to tell a B from an RB:

​	[FONT=verdana, arial, helvetica]On "RB" engines the cubic inch displacement is stamped on a pad located at the front of the block. "B" engines have a similar pad located on the right side of the block near the base of the distributor.[/FONT]

He neglects to mention the B engine stamp is on a diagonal and the RB engine stamp is completely horizontal. If it's flat it's a 440.

This is actually pretty handy

As you can see on the left, the B has a lower deck than the RB on the right. The RB also has some kind of bead or web on the corner.

That's the way I do it.
