It was the bad fuel pump relay. $ 10 part cost me $ 1000.
But it was a good education in trouble shooting without a shop manual, multi meter or my tool assortment back home. Unplugging devices to isolate relays, pumps etcc was very helpful.
What saved me was the fact that fuse block hand...
Did you try unplugging the two pumps and then switch ign key on? Did heat go away after having them eliminated from load.
I assume your getting this heat when engine is running? Pumps should pump up at key on and then shut off at some time or pressure threshold.

I missed the comment as to why you were or are considering going to a different 302 block. What was wrong with the original block? Did you see why one side was running hotter than other?
Inject ours with melted butter mixed with chicken broth. Take out of oven as soon as meat thermometer temperature says so.
Delicious and moist! We eat the whole bird but for the neck and organ meat. Dark Meat and uncarvable white for turkey salad. Dark meat not my favorite but its pretty...
They can be fragile due to impact during docking etc.. My boat had one on it when purchased used. Finally pulled it off to reveal nice gel coat in good condition.
Thanks for update.
May have taken a while to update but its good to know what happened to it.
It ran through my mine cracked block when reading first posts but thought maybe not since you mentioned winterized
So many posters never follow-up and update.
Read through most of the thread. Looks really good. Better built that when it left the factory.
I could never find the drive to do this but my hats off to you for seeing it through.
