You sir lead a charmed live as I have fought the heat soak thing on my 77 Dualie with a 454 since I bought the truck and think that was an issue before that. A Mr Gasket heat shield, Ford remote solenoid and larger cables seem to have done a pretty reasonable job of curing the problem.

On the gear reduction starter thing. Later GM rigs run gear reduction starters that are bolt on for earlier engines.

77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
