Wink My old 460 truck motor does this...

That is, hard to turn over and start when "hot".

I strongly suspect the (old, to boot) stock starter is the problem...it does start, but acts like it does not want to turn over well/quickly at first. I suspect it is a combo of the motor being hot and the starter getting hot as well...losing effeciency in the process.

Going with the Ford motorsports high torque mini starter for my 514 ( in the snake )
