My 49 Chevy pickup uses a mini starter 350 GM with block hugger headers, no problems to date in 20 plus years.

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.
