I had a problem like this. I had a 302 from the junkyard and wired the plugs with the 302 firing order, it would run but acted like yours. Someone told me about ho engines with a 351 firing order and when I rewired the plugs with the 351 firing order no more problems. I was a chevy fan then and knew next to nothing about small block Fords.
