Weight difference

I was wondering if anyone knew how much Dart Iron Eagles weighted.
200cc runner with 64cc chambers?

then how much 195 AFR competition with 76cc chambers?

AFR stud girdles weight?

thanks

The iron are heavier than the aluminum,

I'm pretty sure you knew that

I was wondering the same thing, do aluminum flow better than iron or is the difference only in weight savings?

Alum head around 19lb lighter than cast. Alum easier to machine / repair and conducts head away from the chamber faster so you can run more compression without fear of detonation.
