The 140 was underpowered for sure. Even the 160HP Warrior is marginal in my opinion. The Cherokee Archer 2 (PA28-181) 180HP I flew for 20 years was about right & I could get in & out of fairly short grass fields easily though not with 3 Pax, baggage  & full tanks. The Dakota though with its O-540 235HP engine & CS prop was the best for sure but sucked about 48-52 lph of fuel

There's an Aussie Approved Flight Manual Amendment that allows a 140 to get out of a 400m grass strip at a density altitude of ~3,000ft... you have to jack it off the ground w/flaps, though!

 

There are also a couple of fuel coolers for MOGAS conversions, as in Strayan summer, the suction side of the fuel pump(s) can cavitate under climb conditions without it...
