    Could you be more specific on the engine? 5.0 - 5.7 L? It does sound like a fuel delivery problem. Ethanol can build up a lot of white crusty crud in fuel delivery components. Sounds like main jets could be partially plugged. Will it slowly gain speed if you throttle up slowly? Or will it die with any acceleration at all when engaged to drive the prop? How old is the fuel could be a bunch of water in it too.
