I know what your problem is......somehow you are missing 1/10th of a liter of your motor. You DID say a 7.2, right?

whats the weather like where you are at? if it's cold it takes it a minute to warm up and it will prolly be slow to start...and it will sputter...also...i changed my oil today...started mine up and it wanted to die and it has NEVER died before...so im assuming it just takes a second to build up oil pressure when its cold...because it ran fine after that...and its about 31 degrees farenheit here...
