Ha!  That's because the triumph engine originally was in a tractor!  I gotta 
tell ya, I'd rather push a 4/4 than ride in a +4!   It is a well known fact 
among the cognoscenti that the 4/4 is the thinking man's (and/or woman's) 
Morgan, and you'll quickly realize that you just can't get enough of that 
horizontal shifter mechanism.  Whatsamattah with the Kent engine?  Pushrod 
four; simple as cheese.  Slap a cross-flow head on that baby and add a few 
side draught Delorto carbs, a hot road cam, and whappo! away we go!
