Ingersol-rand 27hp

I have this Compressor left over from my Grandfathers business in the 60'. I need to know if I can use a 110v Motor to turn this monster. If not...then what should I be looking for? I would prefer a direct drive with no clutch assembly. I don't have 220 out in the Barn.

You don't need a clutch with a compressor, the unit will have an unloader which stops the pump operating when it reaches a predetermined pressure. As AVB says a 115VAC motor will not drive it, anything that big will need at least 220VAC and probably 3 phase which few homes have. Best to sell it intact if it is functional.

I had been looking for this post and just could'nt find it.  I understand about the need for 3 phase. Can I run it with an engine and if so what hp engine would I need? Yes it is Belt driven but can I attach a Crankshaft directly to the Compressor Crank. What I'm having a hard time with is finding the right engine that will not produce to high of an rpm even at an idel.( I had been thinking of using a 1928 Chevy 4 cyl.) But a Small Engine at the right hp (may) might work. It's a project I'd like to win on since I would like to have air through-out the barn and be able to sand-blast as well. 

Also would need to provide a throttle control so the throttles down once the preset max pressure is reach and then throttle back up at the low pressure kick in pressure is reach. This would also require a way to bleed off pressure from the pump while idling or you simply blow things up.
 
It is best to work with an air compressor provider that can help you determine the components that you would for the conversion.
