you really want to make it echo freindly.. put in a small diesel and run it on biofules.. or even vegtable oil.. diesels are far more efficient.. especially if your running them at a consistant rate or RPM in a generation situation.. I saw a old "mother earth news" that has a car where a guy did something similar, he had a 10hp brigs and straton engine in it generating power for the battery bank and then put electric drive motors.. he was getting great millage with that setup.. the gas engine ran to keep the batteries and charged up and power the drive line .. letting the engine run at its peak effeciency range at all times .. it would be a show piece, imaging a small diesel lawn mower style engine chromed out under the hood.. look pretty cool.... you'd definatly get points for unique install.. coolest thing is you'd probably have the best electrical system for your stereo by far , considering it would have a large battery bank and on board power generation. and if you kill the batteries, gu under the hood and pull start the engine and your on your way
