A pulley set up is out, because the pump can not take any lateral force. I am going to keep working on this one and will keep you all posted.
Sorry, but did not look at the motor face. However, you can connect it shaft to shaft using Love Joy units. Just build a stand for the pump and align the electric motor shaft to the pump shaft, and it should work.
