Default Dreaded intermittent cutting out!

Ok here is the challenge, I have a 351 Ford racing crate engine which under normal circumstances flies. But after driving her for a couple of hours and letting her sit for about twenty minutes upon starting up and accelerating through first and when shifting into second and hiting it more times than not she cuts out and farts and wheezes barely staying running. I changed carbs from a Holly to an Eldelbrock but she still has the same intermittent problem. The plugs have been changed and the timing and vacuum advance are dead nuts. It’s a matter of not trusting her when pulling in to traffic. Any ideas?
