i doubt it heat sink in the starter. start cheap, ICM, ignition control module. at 20 bucks ish and takes all of 5 minutes to replaces. those were my exact problems i had when mine were bad. a heat sink starter doesnt even turn over unless you hit it. and sometimes not even then.

Heat translates into resistance for electricity. Not all starters will fail to turn over when heatsoaked. Some like in this case will cause a click and/or slow spin.
You're not wrong necessarily, just not as likely to be right vs heatsoaked starter and the given symptoms.

there is a way around that.... its called a "starter saver"
which on our cars is nothing more than a relay that is wired into the spout connector. the only catch is that you need to find a power source that is hot in the "run" position.. and off in the "start" position.
when cranking the car, it automatically puts your timing at ~28°. but itll start easier with the spout pulled out... or with my "modified starter saver" installed instead

i know my old car would have trouble starting because of the timing. but it was the only way i could lean the car out. but then again doesnt that go back to heat?

Not sure about the 5.0 and 5.8 being the same. I would think a1 yr old ICM would not fail so soon (????). What about the starter like the other guys recommended? A heat shield would be cheap or maybe some header wrap by the starter if you can string it thru the tight areas, not as good as a heat shieldbut if you notice a difference in it starting after it's hot you'll know what it is.
