Had very similar problem with my 502 when running a BM blower. Water in oil within minutes when ran in the lake. Block checked with torque plate, heads checked and resurfaced, still got water. Turned out when running on the hose at home, water pressure is almost non existent, so the issue never surfaced. But in the lake, pressure was there, especially when still cold and t-stat closed. Turned out the BM intake required more torque rounds to tighten down. Just the normal 2-3 rounds torqing the bolts down wasn't enough. Even after the 3rd round when the last bolt was torqued, the 1st ones where now finger loose. Water was simply blowing past the intake gaskets. Once I realized this, I just kept going around until the 1st bolt was holding torque. I believe it took close to 10x around the sequence to get the intake to pull down tight. The stock NA intake was never a problem. 2 rounds and it was tight. Don't know why. But it seemed motor temp and pressure were the 2 factors with mine. Water would blow past the gaskets at the lake, go home and test.... nothing. Possibly now that you are getting water after pulled, the intake gaskets have blown out. Check your intake bolts 1st thing, specifically the 1st ones in the torque sequence and see if they are still torqued.
