    Hi volksman - welcome to HomemadeTools.net

    I would suggest starting a new post about the compressor build in the "Help Me Build" subforum.

    Hi volksman,

    Welcome!

    As Jon indicated, a brief post in the Help Me Build subforum should result in some useful input.

    Do you have any photos of the engine you're planning to convert?

    Hi volksman, I've seen a diesel engine built into an air compressor. Interesting project, but practical only in your case because as you said, you've got several of them. Would be interested to see it! And welcome!
