All BBC # 7114 cranks were crossdrilled & tufftrided from the factory & only installed in original L/88 & ZL/1 427 engines.All GM BBC #6223 cranks that were factory crossdrilled are tufftrided, whether 396 or 427, they came in SPEC HI PERF solid lifter engines only from the factory. I believe the 6223 crank was primarily used for 396 applications and has a 3/4" thick front counterweight. If the crank is a dull gray color and the mains have been cross drilled (a hole from one side of the main to the other), it would have been used in high performance solid lifter applications. Cranks used in 427 engines use a thicker (7/8") front counterweight to balance the heavier pistons and are forging #71XX. On a non cross drilled crank, the #1 and #5 mains will have only one hole, cross drilled versions will have two.

This is all the info I could find at the moment, but I will ask a friend of mine who is a mechanic at the Chevy dealer here and maybe I can help out further. If I find any more info on this, I will post back immediately following. I hope this will help in the meantime.

Testimonial: "Thank you for the information. I think I might have found the answer at http://www.mortec.com/journal.htm. Mains 2.7488 - 2.7495 and Rods 2.20. I "hope" that is correct. If you get other information please post!!"

    So I just got off the phone with him and he told me

    Chevy big block- Mains 2.7488" to 2.7495" /Rods at 2.20"
    W motor crankshaft is Mains 2.50"/Rods at 2.20".

    It is the exact same as on your link to "mortec.com". So hopefully you are in good shape!

I need to find the main and rod factory specs for a GM Crankshaft casting number 6223. Where would I look?

you would have to get the foundry bill of material for that crankshaft
finding the casting foundry will be a job in itself
however crank shafts are cast to a engineering standard (throw distance) and are then ground to a standard size on the big ends and main journals
what ever con rods that are used depends on the block that the crank shaft is installed in as different piston diameters require different strength conrods
the casting number is just a batch number so it may prove a dead end if you are relying on it to get information
where I would start looking is at a engineering shop that regrinds crank shafts as they may have original specs for gm cranks and that number just may indicate what block it was made for and then you may get a heading as to where to look

Gm motor identification

You will have to find the casting number on the block, heads, and intake to see if all those are original to that motor, but the block casting number will tell you what year it was made, and the types of vehicles it was used in. It might be difficult to pinpoint exactly what it was in originally if they used it in more than one type car, or produced it more that one year. You can google up a site that will help you find the block casting and decode it for you. Just type in GM engine block decoder
