Ah yeah I guess I did misunderstand, but I think I am still not understanding exactly. You say it was "hot seized" before, but it still ran? A seize means... well simply what seize means; stop, halt, no more movement, stuck in place. My guess is it was either tuned too lean before and the new bbk with new jets being a different engine now resolved the issue only because the parts that were suffering and the parts that caused it are now gone. As long as it is not running hot anymore, that is the important thing.
How close is your exhaust from the intake? I don't understand why you are trying to move the heat. When the engine is pumping it pushes the heat down the exhaust pipe and into the muffler where it travels through some fancy tubing and baffles and exits out into the air. Maybe you have one of those exhaust tubes that also have a tube on it that is supposed to recycle the exhaust air? I had one of those a long time ago and just cut it off with a hacksaw and patched the hole so it would be a normal tube that goes only to the muffler.
