Default Starter Problems when hot 427 FE S/O

Hello guys:
It seems that we suffer from a common Cobra problem. I have a West Coast Cobra powered by a 427 FE s/o after an hour run at normal temp 220 degrees the starter will do click click and no turning.

I purchased a high torque mini starter from JEGS and a heat shield. I still have the same problem. The battery cables appear to be great gauge and tight\.

I do not have an MSD box but I am waiting for one to be delivered as a possible solution. But reading all these threads it seems that there is more than one cause for this issue.

The fans could draw ampage for starting. I also have the bypass wire to the firewall solenoid some opinions are that this is not needed...
I am open to suggestions for this really pesky problem .
Thanks guys
Lou
