I won't know until I get into the nitty gritty.
I would presume that it does aligh since I have the belt on a special pulley that I had made for the water pump running now.
The intent is to cut the nose back to the point where the water pump pulley will be flat and still alighn with the crank pulley.
It does look like the dimensions work. I don't know what complications will happen within the water pump but theoretically, this works.
