"could be a L-88.".... #7115 crank used in all production L88s,#6223 sometimes used but mostly the #7115 cranks used in L89s.

Kevin, please elaborate on this point for me. Are you
saying that 427 L/89's used '7115 cranks? Less the L-88
and ZL-1, I don't think any other production 427 engines
got the '7115. As only the '842 heads separate the L/89
from the L/71, L/72, L/78 - how or why would the '7115
crankshaft replace the '6223 in production? I expect there
could have been exceptions, but my research has indicated
that the '7115 was super-special ( L-88 & ZL-1 ). Please
correct me if I'm wrong.

Steve
