I was just at harbor freight today and they have a big compressor unit (just the compressor piston unit) with twin pistons and a giant flywheel with a fan built into it for like $139. Its an oil lubed unit and requires at least 3HP to run it. You could mount one of those (or two) next to a 616 on a platform and run them with belt drive, that'd be one heck of a compressor! If you used two you'd have a 4 piston compressor!
