Try changing the fuel filter at the carb.  Had simular problems with a sb 
chevy that I put in a 83 toyota 4x4.  It would stall on me then once I 
waited a little bit it would run fine for a few miles and die again.  That 
little fuel filter ended up costing me $40 for a tow to a town before I 
finally figured it out.  I had one of those seethrough filters and it 
looked fine.  Once I got rid of the filter element it ran fine for me the 
rest of the trip.
