Don't know the rates but the 164 springs are significantly stronger than the 140 springs. There's 50% more engine and a longer nose to support with the 164. The crossmember design is essentially the same between the two cars.

In my opinion it never was beefy enough for the 164- my wife's first car, a 75 164, used to chew up idler arm bushings like they were candy.
