Question starter/header fit

I am fitting a 351w into my 53 m-100. I have gone with block huggger headers and am told I need a high torque or shortie starter. Not only will stock not fit it is prone to overheating and is a heavy draw on the battery. I've got 6" between the header flange and the bell housing.
