The Derale 26" Dual High-Output, Electric Radiator Fan w/Aluminum Shroud Assembly - 4,000 CFM # D16842 will fit your 1977 Corvette as long as there is space within your hood for you to install it. Since the fan comes with all the mounting brackets, hardware and installation instructions, you will not need to have any additional parts for the fan to activate manually. If you took out the factory fan, there will most likely be enough room for you to attach the Derale fan. I went ahead and attached a photo of the dimensions of the fan to make sure it will fit your measurements.

If you need a thermostat controller that will automatically activate the fan at a certain temperature, I recommend the Derale Premium, Single-Stage Thermostat Fan Control with Dual Probes - 180 Degrees # D16735. There are also automatic thermostat controllers that allow you to control the temperature of activation, such as the Derale Dual-Fan Adjustable Fan-Control Thermostat with Push-In Radiator Probe # D16788.

Depending on what kinds of bolt-holes you have on your Corvette, the included hardware will be compatible. It is possible that you may need to do some drilling in order to attach the radiator fan to your vehicle.
