Kevin,

More to the point, how can it be a +4 with a V6?  I would imagine that, if
Peter Morgan wanted to shoehorn a Chevvy V6 into a Morgan, he would call it
a +6, just to be consistent.

Still, based on the photographs on the Web page, it's an impressive piece of
work (and an impressive web page, too!)
