That number comes from the difference in the wheelbases between the 140 and 160. I'm just assuming (not always a proper thing to do) that the distance is all added between the firewall and front crossmember. It certainly looks like that is the case. But the B30 could extend farther forward over the crossmember as well. I've never really seen a 164 under the hood so I don't know how it perches on the crossmember.

Examining both a 144 and 164's overall length shows that the 164 is 2.9 inches longer bumper to bumper.
