At my wits end

Hey guys,

So I'm trying to get this pos 305 to run in my 65 pick-up and I'm frikin irritated right now . Long story short, it had a two barrel and original manifold, whole thing was a nasty greasepit; it got to where it would only run for a few minutes, then die. Then start right back up, run for a few minutes and die. Fuel pressure seemed ok, I noticed the carb was leaking fuel down the sides and probably needed a rebuild. I had a cheapie china stamped four barrel intake and an extra edelbrock carb, and an extra hei on hand, so I figured I would just swap it all over.

After finally getting it to seal (after having it apart and together again 3 times ); it's still doing the same thing. I guess it could be the same symptom, different cause if I installed something wrong; so any suggestions would be great. Before I tow it up to three rivers and push it off a cliff . Thanks guys.
