Hi Tom Mazz/CT, your experiencing whats call heat soak syndrome. How old is your starter? As 19Fordy indicates it's prevalent when your starter is older and needs rebuilding or a new starter. Also as blucar indicates I haven't seen heat from the engine or headers as a problem causing slow turning except with tired starters. Rebuild it or get a new one. If your not concerned with totally stock I believe I've seen hi-torque starters available which are less prone to heat. ( although I don't think the heat is the problem )
Good luck
