need help (car not running right)

i have a vauxhall nova which i have fitted a engine from a 1.6 cav. it runs fine in 1st and 2nd but when u get to about 3500rpm in 3rd it starts to splutter and will die out until you drop it into 2nd. the car drives fine if you keep the rpm below 3500. it is a carb engine btw. i have changed the plugs, leads and the distributor and i have had the timing reset which helped it a bit. can anyone shine some light on this?
