What type of distribution pump/thermostat system are you running? The water in one side could be caused by a cold water bypass, possibly favoring one side and condensing in the exhaust. I have had engines that would cause a milkshake look inside the valve cover before the oil got up to temp.

Water in exhaust is always a bit of a problem!
I would still recommend what Patriyacht is saying that the horizontal only tailpipes on those headers are going to cause a water and mist issue during overlap into that engine. If you cannot get some drop to the tips then for all means run cooled tips with the water exit at the tip only even with your cam dialed back in where it should be.
Just my two cents here.
Hope your troubles are over.
Best of Luck

Ok I got an idea.... it will take a few hours but this should rule out the headers completely.
Remove the headers and swap them onto the other motor. Once you get done swapping both motors, fire them off and see if you have this problem with the other motor on the same header. If not, you have ruled out the headers as the cause and you have singled it out that it is the engine that is the problem.
This should work. I think I read correctly where you said the other motor has no issues at all, right?
