Welcome to the board from Sunny Southern California

I had the same problem when I first put a TH350 in my '63. Try recalibrating your transmission shift governor by changing weights and/or springs. B&M makes a governor recalibration kit that has an assortment of weights and springs that should be available from any speed shop. JEGS has it for $29.99. It's easy to do but may take a bit of trial and error depending on how far off you are.
