More info needed but first thing comes to mind is a bad starter. When engine is hot than so is starter and if bad will drag and not start the engine. So does it spin good when hot and not start or not turn at all or what? If it spins good hot but don,t start does it have spark. Bad coil or mod? will work when cold but fail when hot.

Check your cables.
A previous owner had a put a 6 gauge (small) cable from the starter solenoid to the starter on my truck. I installed all new 2 gauge cables. My 390 had a 'hot' slow start issue too, until I did this swap.
