Jet Hot does it for about $300. I'm spending $50 for 8 Oz of the ceramic paint and $30 to the sandblaster guy. I'm gonna bake the headers in my Mom's old Hotpoint range (free). That leaves me $220 to wisely invest in broads and beer.
As far as the mini starter -- I prefer to keep it stock. I have a lifetime warranty with Checker Auto. So I now have a fresh starter on which I will install the Accel HiTork solenoid [US made] and I will also route the wiring thru a Ford-style remote solenoid on the passenger-side inside fender wall. I also have a soft heat shield to wrap around the starter/solenoid assembly. I used to use the Mr.Gasket 2-sided aluminum heat shield on a '67 K/10 Sub w/454, but it wouldn't fit the SBC in the K/5 with the Heddman headers.
