Anyone made an air compressor out of a spare engine? That will give you all
the air you need. You just split the intake and exhaust manifolds so that
half of the cylinders run the engine and half of them pump air. You do every
other cylinder in the firing order so that the engine runs evenly. It works
best on heads without siamesed ports though. Usually the engines are either
SBC's or old flathead 4's, the Willys/Continental 134 being popular.

We am going through the same process and looking for air compressors and
sand blasters. We just bought an old wrecking yard in Southerrn Colorado
and are looking at similar equipment. We seem to b e accumulating some old
trucks also and looking for advice on compressors and blasters.
