Dont think so Head gasket is different and i think rings are a different thickness

...I'd stick with only 76F parts for the engine internals.  I think the 76F was kind of a beast all unto itself.  It is a super sport, yet it doesn;t have much in common (internally) with the 77/78 super sports, which are nearly idenical...
