Default gearing???

I have an 86 SVO mustang that I pulled the 4 cyl out of and put a 302 into. I have no problems with the transmission and rear endthat came with it other than the gearing. It is so low that I cant even take off in first gear when racing. I dont knowif I should change the rear end outor get a different transmission. I got the power but the gearing is killing me!

if you have the 7.5" rear end i suggest maybe changing it to the 8.8" rear, and 3.55 or 3.73:1 gears
