L72 Crankcase Capacity?

Does anyone know the factory spec for Crankcase capacity of the `68 L72 427 - both with and w/o filter? Can't seem to find this anywhere, and I believe the L72 capacity is greater than the L36 427 (An additional quart?) Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Bigblox

All big-block Corvettes had a 6-quart total oil capacity including the filter.

Some passenger cars with the same engine may have been 5, but the Vette was always 6.
