I will stay away from the cross over setup. I really like the looks of the stainless ones but looks and function are two different things.
BBB, will the stainless Sierra housing work fine with an alpha setup?

Try to make both manifolds run close to the same temp. sometimes due to casting differences one side may run hot due to the other side flowing more water. I've put ty wraps on the side that was running cooler to restrict flow and evened it out.
Don't rely solely on the temp sender in the intake.
I recommend bying a hanheld laser thermometer. $40 from harbor frieght. This gives you a better idea of how to pinpoint where problems or restrictions are.
I like to cut the hose in the transom and block it off in the boat and install 1- 1/4" thru Hull, strainer and engine driven raw water pump. Ya can't beat it. Although a buddy of mine swears by the low water pick up Bravos.(still needs a pump)
If drive water pumps were so great we would see them in #6's and Konrads. The biggest reason why I dislike outboards. BBB
