Starter won't crank engine after warm?

HAHAHAH
Are you sure you dont have a Chevy motor in there?? This is a classic problem with chevys and I had this problem too, usually due to the starter mounted solenoid.

However many guys still have the problem after swapping to a Ford solenoid. The headers still can greatly heat up the starter motor this can cook the windings and brushes over time. Also too much initial timing causes "negative work" and makes the car hard to start. Battery cables can also cause a problem, I had a 2 year old cable go completely short internally with no external indication of a problem, keep it simple and replace the cheap stuff first.
