Car engine conversion???


Does anyone have any plans or info on how to convert a car motor to an air compressor? Not just to fill up tires, I need for sandblasting- at least 50 to 100 CFM,Thank you...

Pull out a spark plug and screw in a hose.

VW kit


I recently found one supplier of a VW kit, sounds good, under 500$ and 58 CFM. Still wondering if there are any other options. Thank's...
