You either need a larger crank pulley, or smaller water pump and alternator pulleys.

It also will lessing the horsepower it takes to rotate the water pump an alt.
Normally with an FE the water pump pulley is a little larger.
To speed up the water pump they reduce the size of the water pump to a 1:1 ratio.

But with a smaller crank pulley and water pump pulley it also speeds everything up a little.
If you look at the pulleys in my picture the crank pulley and the water pump pulley are the same size but both are smaller than the stock pulleys.
