I suggest, if you want to go this way, that you replace those dual pocket monstrosities for a conventional circulating pump. A good junkyard can supply the timing gear housings, and you can then buy a couple of pumps.

Not sure how successful you will be with the rust issue, however, if you convert old, raw water cooled motors to FWC. It's been done, but one has to do a lot of flushing before the rust flakes stop showing up to clog up the exchangers.
