Well this swap is actually pretty common (refered to as a 7/11 swap/bike) but generally its done on the 16v 750 frames. I dont think it would be impossible on the 77 750 frame (keep in mind, the 77 frame has a couple of differences from the later model pre 80s 750, and vast differences from the 80 and up model) but you would certainly have to move the mounts.

Use the stock rear lower mounts,
Chop the lower left mount of the frame and weld in a new one
Make the other mounts from aluminum.

Easy job, don't forget to upgrade the brakes and tires too.

isn't the clutch linkage differrent between these two motors. i know my 77 750 is different from the 81 750.

Just put a '79 1000 in my '79 750, took a little work but no big deal...

Make four motor mounts out of steel, make a footpeg bracket, and a rear pipe mount. Use the 1000 clutch cable, or maybe one from a later 750, the rest is pretty much a bolt-in job. Stator wires are a little different.
