Pass. Too much stuff in the minors. If pard can contribute 1 trick (not totally impossible), this should go down. In addition, we're probably going 800 down :/

I don't understand anything but pass. What are we looking for? The only realistic chance of getting a good result is 6♥ going down.
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

Pass for now.
The problem might come on the next round when partner doubles. This of course will depend on how strong a vulnerable versus not 4♠ bid is and what exactly double shows after partner's pre-empt. Does double just show a good 4♠ pre-empt or does it just show the he thinks 6♥ is failing.
Anyway we have some good things for him four trumps (which is also bad for defense), a singleton heart (although this could easily be duplicated or worse partner might have a void on this bidding) and two useful minor cards.
On balance though I think passing whatever happens is likely to be best.
