My couple of concerns, were the exhaust piping. And, also what to do with
the motor heat. In the winter time, the heat would be used to help warm the
house. Summer, it needs to be piped out.

I'm thinking more and more, that a whole house generator in the cellar is a
bad idea.

I've installed and serviced cellar/basement generators. You need what's
called a critical grade muffler. flexible connecting pipe and a good
location for the pipe to go through the wall to the outside. The
generator's own cooling fan can be used for exhausting air from the
basement but an extra vent fan running off generator power in a good
idea. Plenty of ventilation with automatic shutters is prudent as is
a carbon monoxide detector. A sheet metal shop can build the exhaust
duct along with flexible couplings for the genset cooling air. ^_^
