I had the same 500ci engine in my '77 Olds. That was a long standing GM staple and it was only in '78 they they started to reduce the engine sizes.
Great engine. Very smooth and brilliant for highway cruising. We managed 18-20 MPG once in a fully loaded car (6 people plus luggage) on a cold winter drive from the Oklahoma border to Houston. I also idled a 1/4 tank trying to get out of a parking lot after a Def Lepard gig around my 16th birthday.
I loved that car. We got rid of it in the mid 90s. I found my old set of keys for it last week helping my parents clear out their house before selling it. A discovery that made me ridiculously happy.
