Nevermind $130, I'd direct drive the stock pump with a $20 electric motor if I could.

Unfortunately, this is what the serpentine belt looks like:


If the belt skips the water pump, the alternator pulley would have very little belt to pull it since it would only have maybe 100 degrees of wrap. I am not going to take that risk.
