Starter cover

It seems that my starter gets overheated from my exhaust manifolds. After a good drive, I turn the engine off then I have to wait about 20 minutes before I can start it again. I need to know if there is a exhaust wrap type cover I can put on it or will installing headers make this problem go away?

79 2wd Longbed factory 460.

Cool it, and thermo tech both make appropriate wraps for starters. Check summit racing for both.
