Whe I first imported my 55 400 back in 2003 I had very similar starting problems, the motor would initially fire then cut out and then spin over for ages before it would reluctantly start and once running it was better to leave it running as after stopping it would be the same story hot or cold. My tuning guy took a look and after hooking it up to his machine found the timing so far retarded it was actually firing after TDC... Once the timing was set correctly she would fire right up and still does once the gas eventually gets through after periods of inactivity.
Maybe something simple and worth looking at with just an inexpensive timing light...
