One bank running hot vs other.

Yep.
Yep true L31 block and heads needs bypass hose like a big block chevy does or you get hot spots and up/down cycle of heat and smell coolant as it goes in/out overflow jug .
No input
Those numbers jive with expectations. The left cylinder head usually runs 10* hotter than anywhere else
Yep. Not a flow issue. But the left should be warmer than that with the header Temps so far off.
Check the heads just above the exhaust ports.
Is it dual exhaust out the back? Catalytic converter? Cross over pipe?
hey dont be holding out on us. lol
No input
dual exhaust with dual cats, dual mufflers and a crossover
Crossover before or after the cats?
after cats before mufflers
Cat is plugged on that side?
Cant be unless sequential efi . . Duel plane intake does 1/7 - 4/6 . . Then 3/5 - 2/8 . . So if 1 hole bank is hot its multiport or a weird problem .
Not if it is partially restricted. Completely plugged yes. Not letting the heat flow efficiently will back up the heat in the headers.
Can you disconnect the exhaust from the headers, then check the temps?

Maybe one cat is plugged up.
Try and disconnect the cats and check both sides see if it makes a difference
If the manifold is hotter it should be hotter but not necessarily by that much but some
