Yes, you read right, you can get them for free with a little bit of effort. Plus possibly a lot of ducting if you need it.

Go to your nearest Heating Contractor that installs/replaces furnaces. Drive around the back and see what they are doing with the old furnaces. Often times, you will see their 'graveyard' full of old equipment, and they have to PAY to get rid of the stuff. When a furnace is replaced, it is generally not because the fan motor is not working, but rather that the heat exchanger has a crack in it or is rusted out.
When you find the old furnaces in their junk pile, just go in and ask if they mind if you took an old fan motor for you garage. They are generally happy to oblige, as they certainly are not interested in using it.
