I wanted to upgrade the motor / blower that I use, so I was monitoring the local craigslist and got a 2 Hp dust collector that I got for $85. There are a lot listed for $300 - $350, but if you don't mind waiting, you may get what you need.
I think I'd just watch CL (or these forums under classifieds) for a used complete unit, take what you need and toss the rest. That said, PSI used to sell motor/blower assemblies for cyclones…don't know that I've seen any other outfit sell just the blower.
Good luck … I have been looking for one to put on top of my steel Super Dust Deputy for over a year now with no luck. PSI has a 2hp that lists at $395, but no 3hp motor/blowers.
Clearview will sell you the parts to make a blower, the impeller motor and any associated electric stuff (you build the housing). But it will be a 5 HP motor and a 15" impeller…..quite a bit larger than you wanted. Still, may be worth pursuing.
Using the dust deputy you have would be way undersized for the clearvue cyclone. There's a good chance, the separation would be very poor with the amount of air that the clearvue motor and impeller can move.
