You have the makings of a good practical education numerous fields.
The engine will be efficient as the computer and O2 sensor will hold the air fuel mixture at 14.7 .
Ebay has all kinds off the shelf generator protection and control "black boxes" to control rpm/throttle and act as a "Murphy Switch". Even ST automatic voltage regulators for the generator side.
The engine produces approx 125 lb ft at 1800rpm to make approx 40HP. This would be a good match to a four pole 25KW generator head.
A 3600rpm setup would make approx 65-70HP and run 40KW generator.
A stub drive shaft, a large and well aligned lovejoy coupling, some safety shields and good to go.
Lots of people line up to yip yip about low rpms, efficiency and long life. Sure if it"s a HD prime power application running full throttle 24/7 in marine application designed to operate for 40 years.
Your gen set is a light duty intermittent operation design. You won"t live long enough to see the difference if it runs at 1800 or 3600rpm.
Use a long heavy wall exhaust system with a good muffler mounted near to the engine. Otherwise it"s going to sound like some rice racer with a phart can muffler.
