My 40 Ford Coupe also uses a mini starter 350 GM with fender well headers and it developed the hot start issue right away.
The main difference is engine bay area/heat....I cured the 40 with a Ford solenoid.

My K20 has a big block with long tube headers. The mini starter has a lot of air space compared to the old heavy high torque. Maybe it stays cooler because of it.
