Default water pump for electric motor?

Hey all,

As I set up my basement sump I have some pretty high demands for a pump. Based on where the sump fits and where the tank is, there will be a significant amount of head pressure. I have seen the use of large electric motors powering water pump attachments in industrial applications. I just so happen to have a 115v 3hp electric motor in the basement from an old compressor that I tore down for parts. Does anyone know where I could look for a water pump that requires an external motor? Im havent decided that this is definitely the route I will go, but I would like to know what my options are for the pump part at least.

Thanks for any help!
