wow. if the flowsheets are correct, those are serious heads...
seems like a bit much for a used motor, but given those heads, try and talk him down to like 1900

well if they knew what they were doing then spend away, or you could build a motor from scratch, all depends on how much $ ya got to play with, the faster it goes the more $$ its gonna cost ya.
