idleing issues

ok guys i need help!! i have a 89 f150 5.0L 5speed with a roller block, thumper heads roller rockers and stock intake set up with speed density. i put a cam in with 114 lobe center and 212 int dur at .050. the truck runs great!! but wont find a idle. it will search between 1000 and 500 rpms. somtimes it smooths out and idles great for a minute or two, then it will start searching again. ive cleaned out the throttle body and the idle air servo and it only helped alittle. before i start throwing parts at it has anyone rean into a problem like this, and what did you do to fix it? any info would help thank you!!
