You may need a heat shield to protect the starter from the engine's heat. Does the exhaust manifold or pipe pass near the starter?

Looking for ideas about my wonderful '53 Chevy 3/4 ton pickup with 235 engine:  When the engine gets hot, it does not want to start.  If I hook up my battery booster to it, it turns over very fast and starts.  It has a new battery.  

Why does it NOT turn over fast enough to start when hot?  While running, it runs like a top, has tons of power.  I've had the starter rebuilt, the carburetor rebuilt, electric fuel pump installed, but it still needs a boost when hot.

Is it 6 volt or 12? How heavy are your cables? If it is 6 volt you need pretty heavy cables or you get too much voltage drop.

I had a similar problem with a smb chev engine. My problem was solved by
changing the starter. After driving for a while if you shut it off for a few
minutes and tried to start it again it would turn over very slow like it had
a weak battery. Using a booster battery it would be able to restart. How
confident are you of the starter rebuild? Sometimes the field coils can
short to the case when they are hot but are fine when cold with no visible
signs of a problem. There should be lots of those 6 cylinder chev starters
around. I would try to find one and swap it out.
