I hope this is an engine that has been built specifically for a T34 and not just a "I've read on the internet you can fit a T34". Up to 260bhp a T3 of the correct specification is always the best option on an RST. Only when requiring power close to 300 and beyond should a T34 be used. Surge and Lag are the major downfalls, a little like using a T4 on a stage 1 cossie!! i.e. pointless!
