Pulley ratio sets the speed. Do the math and pick a correct pair. You can use a 3600rpm motor too. They are typ smaller for a given hp since the rotor diameter is smaller (= cheaper usually)
Less hp may not start (even w/ a working unloader valve.) More hp is no issue (or advantage) other than larger current inrush. At high enough hp you may need a soft starter to keep from tripping reasonably sized breakers. Best to stick to 5hp.
Figure out what frame you need (too tired for me to do it now) then search ebay. Should be pretty simple.
Yes you can hook tanks together.
Marathon and GE come to mind as other good brands. Most anything you can google and appears to be made in the states will be fine.
