could most likely be a coil pack going south when the engine bay heats up, or a plug wire rubbing/arcing on a component under the hood.

agreed on wires- mine and my friends old 5.0's did this, as is my new 97. if not, then coil pack time

As it turnes out the 2 plugs on the passenger rear bank weren't in all the way. Replaced wires, plugs, runs perfect! Thanks for all your input.
