In wiring on a new plug, do I need to worry about live vs. ground wires? Does the block heater ground to the chassis? I'd hate to get it wrong and have my car "live" by accident.

I'm pretty sure its grounded. Since its installed in the block and all engines are grounded by the engine mounts. I think if you just install a two prong male plug it will work fine... I know mine did when I ran it over, I heard this weird skipping sound.. turned out to be my block heater cord bouncing off shepard road..
