Hello, this is my first post so don't yell at me.
I need help diagnosing a problem that happens when it gets really hot outside. I live in SC so it gets pretty warm here from time to time. On the hottest days, the engine will run perfectly if you are cruising down the road, but if you go and stop for a drink and go back outside to start it up sometimes it will do this.

The truck is a 92 Ranger XLT and we swapped a 5.0 HO out of a 92 Ford Thunderbird Sport (same engine as 94-95 Mustang GT). All we did to the engine was a new distributor, tune-up kit, tri-y long tube headers with 2.5" straight pipes, new fuel pump (for 4.0 V6), new water pump, timing chain, no 02 sensors, new ignition control module, new coil, no smog pump and EGR delete, new rear and front main seals, no AC, no Thermostat to help with cooling, oil filter relocation, and new fuel filter. Normal things for a 5.0 conversion. Something is obviously getting too hot underneath the hood but have no idea what. Pls help ASAP because there is a show coming up and I don't want this to happen there. The truck will always start up but when the computer takes over the timing it seems to want to only run on two or three cylinders and then die.
Here's a bad picture of the engine bay
