$300-$500 is about the going price for a new 5HP motor. Check
your local auction listings for machine tools that might have a
motor you could salvage. Normally, I'd say this might yield a
bargain but with the price of copper going through the roof, I
wouldn't be surprised if salvagers show up to bid on them just
to extract the copper windings.
For a new motor, you might check www.northerntools.com. I recall
they sell compressor-type motors in the 5HP range but I can't
vouch for their quality. McMaster Carr lists a 5hp 3ph motor
for $285 (part no 6136K16).
