Years ago I installed a big block 454 in a older Chevy pickup.I never needed the heater in the winter,and burned my feet through my work boots in the summer.Heat shields helped,but I never really solved the problem.
I'm installing a 360 in one of my FFPWs.
Find out if the hemi puts out alot of BTU like the 454.
Also a good friend had a stock 1973 3/4 ton Chevy pickup with a factory 454 his firewall and floorboards got pretty hot too.
Best Regards,Mark
