    Maybe the gas tank has a sealed gas cap and is building pressure in the tank, then bleeds down and restarts. An engine needs fuel, spark and air to run, so it's one of them, lol. You only need fuel and spark to light it up an push it down the hill...
    I would do the SBC swap.

    I am with him ,non vented gas cap on older fuel systems does not work well,it allows a vac to form ..............if the gas cap has been replaced it`s probably non vented,the trucks with the gas tank in the cab have a hard time with those non vented caps too,they pressurize and leak vapor out the seals into the cab.

    You could try and drill a very small hole in the cap to test it out ,at this point a new cap is cheap.....just drill it off of the tank ,so no shavings go into the tank or worse yet ....booooom.
    Its gunna take longer than u thought and its gunna cost more too(plan ahead!)
