IT could be a number of things mate, how old is the engine and what sorta condition / spec? It is hard to say what it could be, have you checked all the obvious things? May well be best to take it to a tuner and make sure all is ok fueling / timing wise etc.

Hmm, looks like uve changed a few bits which could cause it, have you had the timing checked? I would personally take it to a tuners to get it setup and checked on the machine fueling wise etc. they will help

check all the boost pipes are tight, if theres an air leak it will try and stall or not start. Also check the dizzy out, sometimes the internals in the dizzy can brake down and cause ur motor to not start or randomly cut out, but I wouldnt of thought the dizzy would have altered which revs it will not cut out, most likely a boost pipe!
