Smitty says:  Bill the only difference inside the block between the stick
140 and the 110 is the nitrided crank of the 140.  Most of them have long
since lost their nitriding as wear or turning down of the journal removes
it.  110s and 140s both use the 891 cam.  External changes are the heads
and distributors.
        The automatic 140s had a couple of other changes as they used an
889 cam and the cam was retarded 4 degrees by a crank gear change
