I installed a 1/4" phenolic spacer ( most I could install so air cleaner would clear hood) between the carb and intake which actually cured the issue.

Just an FYI for Roush 427R owners...
I did the same thing and it helped a great deal. What was odd about this particular instance was that it started up just fine, drove about 200 feet and died when i gave it gas while driving up to the stop sign. Strong gas smell ensued and i gave it 5 minutes and it started right up.
