Sounds a bit like IAC, but the hunting idle in my 89 4.9l was cured by cleaning the backside of the throttle body. I would say, pull the throttle body and IAC valve; spray them off with carb cleaner and wipe down.

Have you tried adjusting the carb with the little screw on the side. This will change the gas-air ratio and may help. If you have tried this, perhaps the screw is coming loose with driving.

also look at the little linkage rod hanging down in the front(facing grill). Mine popped out of the slide and caused mine to die upon sharp turns.
