It could be inferred from how much current it takes for a given-sized electric motor to spin the combustion engine to a given RPM. A motor intended for small EVs might be ideal.
You would, ideally, want to have the engine parts at their operating temperatures. You could run the engine for a while until it got to operating temp, then shut down the fuel and ignition and let the electric motor go.
This is sounding like something that a resourceful person could do at home...

Do you mean something like a starter motor with a disabled ignition and injection system? Yeah, its on the motor already.
