Pull the engine and mount it to a piece of 3/4" plywood. Have it turn
a belt with an alternator or two that are hooked up to a car battery,
running in parallel with an AC inverter. Use it as a generator.


Very good idea. There are plans and suggestions on the 'net for sizing
(battery and alternator ratings, etc.) along with pully sizes for
appropriate RPMs.
