I've seen small displacement ones amounting to about 13 HP sustained capacity for a couple hundred. That's enough for highway speeds, barely, with good aerodynamics.
Would like to find something capable of 40 GPM at around 2000 PSI, 3K RPM for pump, 1500 RPM for motor, very roughly, to be in the same ballpark as a mid-performance car.

what is a good price for one of those and what prices have you seen so far?  will it be prohibitively expensive?

Proportional/servo valves as well, likewise.

11GPM 3000PSI hydraulic pump - $90, would need a motor and coupling, or a clutch/gearing to use power from an engine

this doesn't include valves - there are manual and solenoid easily available but I would like to also develop a standard servo-actuated ball valve
