Interesting, where you guess the extra metal is? Just the design, is maybe thicker deck and runner walls? I have never messed or even had a peanut head before.

It's in the spark plug side of the head. Instead of having big holes for the tubes, the head is solid.

Mike J said the peanut head is the best to port, they have thicker port walls, so a pound or so will be found there.

Mine felt about 210 lbs when I slung it on my shoulder and threw my back out last March. :cry:

I have gotten numbers between 69-79 lbs using a digital scale. The 74-down heads are the lightest and 75-79 are heaviest.
