To evaluate the expression

\[ \left( \frac{6^7 \cdot 3^3}{6^6 \cdot 3^4} \right)^3, \]

we can simplify the fraction inside the parentheses first.

  1. Simplify the fraction \(\frac{6^7 \cdot 3^3}{6^6 \cdot 3^4}\):

Using the property of exponents \(\frac{a^m}{a^n} = a^{m-n}\):

\[ \frac{6^7}{6^6} = 6^{7-6} = 6^1 = 6 \]

And for the powers of 3:

\[ \frac{3^3}{3^4} = 3^{3-4} = 3^{-1} = \frac{1}{3} \]

Now combine these results:

\[ \frac{6^7 \cdot 3^3}{6^6 \cdot 3^4} = 6 \cdot \frac{1}{3} = \frac{6}{3} = 2 \]

  1. Now cube the result:

\[ \left(2\right)^3 = 2^3 = 8 \]

Thus, the value of the entire expression

\[ \left( \frac{6^7 \cdot 3^3}{6^6 \cdot 3^4} \right)^3 = 8. \]

So, the final answer is

\[ \boxed{8}. \]
