FL 88 RX7 Convertible

I own a 1988 RX7 Convertible that I have done a conversion to a 327 Chevy engine, TH400 Transmission. The stock differential gears are too low an I have not been able to find anything to change. RPM's are too high for normal driving.
This is not a race car it is my personal street car.
I would love to talk with someone who knows about changing or converting the rear suspension to something else, such as a corvette or something with higher gears.

327? Was it lying around or just dirt cheap? If you're going SBC, seems like a 383 would be the way to go. Let's see if anyone here can help with this gear problem you've run into.
