have you considered putting in a remote solenoid, then you won't have the wires sitting near the headers and it's alot easier to hook up one wire to the starter...

I wrapped all the wires in one of those fibreglass heat resistant boots from DEI. no problems yet

there's some others on here who have done this and a solenoid is less than $20
