To clarify, I believe that my starter has also gotten weak. There are still times where you can tell it struggles to get the engine cranking, but since re-doing my ground to the block at least it does crank. I will likely be replacing my starter soon. Also, BTW I have stock manifolds, not headers on a crate 350 but I still believe that I am getting some heat soak on the starter (or solenoid).
