Using engine information for the 1971 1800E and chassis information for the 1971 142s, the 142 has about 130hp(6000rpm) and 133trq(3500rpm), and weighs a little more than 2650 I'd say with the increased amenities that the 142e would have vs the 142s.

For the 74 164 it says you have 138hp(5500rpm) and 154trq(3500rpm). That page doesn't list a weight, but for the 73 164 it says it weighs about 3225. DAMN! I didn't know it was THAT heavy!

And I'm actually suprised the 142 wasn't noticeably faster than your 160...

And FWIW, for some reason, the 72 164 is listed as having 160hp(5800rpm) and 166trq(2500rpm?!) and only weighs 3051-3062lbs... And it's still listed as having the same compression ratio...?

All information coming from Volvo's website
