how much less would say Vett L98 aluminum heads weigh over stock iron heads?

Im just going to take a guess at this since I never weighed mine, but I'd say about 10 pounds less on each. I just remember carrying them around, and there was a quite a bit of difference.

A lot. I had to use both hands to move my Iron Eagles around. All the aluminum heads I have played with I could lift with one hand or even a few fingers. those are all aftermarket heads though, not OEM aluminum's.

The stock heads are about 45# a piece. The AL's weigh 16-19# depending on who's scale you want to trust. Mine were 16# assembled (according to my trusty scale). Thats a total of 58 less. Yea, they are quite light.

Most AL heads weigh more, like 25-30 each.
