Flipped Passat box seeing as your already running an in line 4 engine.
Or a petrol t25 box maybe.

Is it a t25 bus you have then?
With your 3 rib box. As Wilfred said you can stick some bigger rear tyres on it which will drop the revs down. Another solution is to change the final drive ring gear on the diff inside the 3 rib gearbox. This will also drop the revs. Could be cheaper then going into a complete gearbox transfer.
