You'll have to shorten the shaft on your waterpump and get another pulley. A 292 Ford, among others, works. The pulley from a '53 motor is too small and will turn the pump too fast, causing overheating.

Many of the vendors sell the shortened pumps at exorbitant prices but you can do it yourself with a press and cut-off tool.
