1980 450 SLC Engine Stalling after long run

Hi Folks ,
I recently bought a 450SLC in reasonable condition with a view to restoring.Motor starts fine & goes well.
I took it for a long run a couple of weeks a go & covered about 150kms without incident until I came back to town & stopped at traffic lights. The car started jerking when I took off & started loosing power. I managed to get home with problem slowly getting worse.
I turned the engine off & restarted it a few minutes later & it seemed to be revving cleanly again , but didn't take it out again until a couple of weeks later.

84 380Sl engine stumbles

n/a 1984 380SL- bought car with seized engine, replaced with 60K engine from 85 380SE, new rebuilt trans from MB. Installed new fuel pump, filter, plugs, wires, cap, rotor. Engine starts great, rev's great, put in gear and accelerate slowly,and every thing seems ok. Accelerate too fast and engine will stall or start missing. It will get up to speed and seem to run fine, although it feels like it has a slight miss. Come to a hill and it starts missing very noticably but will maintian speed. Car will surge when on cruise control, I assume becouse of miss.
