351m problems

I have a 79 f-150 with a 4speed manual. When I the truck it had been sitting in a pasture for 9 years. I got the truck running decent. When I am driving mainly in 2nd gear if I hit the gas not even that hard it will act like its going to stall. It does this in every gear just mainly is 2nd.The only thing that is not stock on the 351 is an 650cfm 4bbl. I can not figure out why it is doing this. Any ideas are accepted. Thanks in advance yall.

It sounds like a fuel delivery problem.. Are there any blockages from the tank to the pump? These trucks are notorious for rusty/sludgy tanks.. Also, you should go through that carburetor, could be an accelerator pump problem..
