I was thinking about the 1.6L engine, and eventually enlarge its displacement to compensate a little of the displacement loss after that Dunn-Right conversion.

And since it's a wood gas thread, add a chipper/shredder belted or clutched to the crankshaft.
Making it run on wood gas wouldn't be so easy because I wouldn't be able to register it. But nothing would prevent me from building a wood gas-powered towable genset that could be eventually fitted with its own hub-motors.
