Hi Kevin,

I don't want to bang heads with you here but I have not
heard of one COPO 427 with a factory '7115 crankshaft.
Several members here own them, perhaps they would care
to elaborate.

Additionally, I addressed this very issue last year on
the NCRS forum and walked away with the understanding that
the '6223 crankshaft was the common crankshaft in use at the
time. It existed in various forms: standard, cross-drilled
and cross-drilled/tufftrided in both 396 & 427 applications.

The comment about the '7115 being used in conjunction with
the 12.5:1 pistons seems quite plausible to me.
