I need to loose the stock water pump. Dont have room for it. So I machined boltable blocking plate and I will machine "tower" for guide pulley to be bolted, welded or threaded when I know where and how long. So I can play with belt rounting.
Running BMW Piesrburg electric pwm pump.

That's an idea. I used this: https://www.vpw.com.au/parts/DC-8025 with on of my earlier builds and it worked great with a big cube sb. I kind of did the same as you are doing. I just half-assed it and made a empty dummy wp in stock location just for the pulley to stay in right place. But with this build I just want to make the front of the engine as clean as possible. Small, low mount alternator and idler pulley would be the ideal amount of accessories running of the crank for this. I'm using electric steering column with tilt and no A/C.
