Got the vn v6 in the kombi need better ratios

Did the conversion last week , got it running and did the test drive, came home and took it out again. It really needs a different set of gears as its reving at 3500 in top to do 100km/h , so if anyone has gone thru this drama and can help out it would be greatly appreciated. It went like stink and it has been the only time the kombi could spin the wheels on tar, so it would be a waste to leave all the bits sittin on the shelf. mmmmmm needs a hi-torque starter too. Any info would be tops.

mine's got a rad from a hx v8. fits nicely between the chassis rails.
off the shelf units are so much cheaper than custom.
also got new adjustable koni's on all four corners.
good shocks make so much difference.
the handling of the car changes dramatically with all that extra weight behind the rear axle.

here's a pic of my rad.
