If your water pump is the only problem then it is done right. You need to obtain or make a shortened water pump. I did the one on my 261 in my '50 truck with a press and got a foamoco pulley out of a junkyard truck that was a bolt on. Here is a pic of the install:

All the mounts are in the stock locations, it's a '62 block. It came pre-drilled.
