I used to have the same problem on my '82gt. I bought a starter for a 93GT and that works pretty well. It's still a little sluggish when it get's hot. I'm going to try to insulate the starter wire because it runs down through that area and see if that helps.
Where could a get a heat shield for a 351w?
