Curtis: I can sympathize with your problem. Here is what I went thru. I have 351 W with about 350 HP. Optimum battery in trunk with #2 wire to stater solenoid mounted on fire wall. # 4 wire to stater. Standard rebuilt Ford starter. Jet Hot coated headers and side pipes. When cold started like a champ. After running 20 min or so nice and hot. Won't start unless it cools down about 15 min or so. Thought it was starter "heat soak". Bought the heat sheild blanket from Summit. Still doesn't start. Checked battery, all good. Changed all wires to #2. Still nothing changes. Took starter to local Advanced store where the starter was purchased. Tested fine but asked it to be replaced. Still the same. Checked timing alittle advanced but engine runs great. Backed off the timing (retarded) about 4 degrees. Starts no problem!!!!!!!!!!!!
If the sound is starter barely turning the engine over. RETARD the timing a bit and see. Good Luck.
