Ford solenoid?
nah . Buy a descent hi torque from napa and a heatshield.

heat kills starters YES.. BUT! that's why you dont get a cheap autozone starter.
you dont have to buy a jegs or summit super starter either. just a 80 dollar (with core) high torque starter with a heat shield.

My headers are about half an inch from my starter. but put a good one and a shield on and the hot starts have not been an issue for over a year.
