With a std gearbox, rpms don't matter:
One of the gears is likely to get your engine and generator at the optimal or desired rpm's for them both.
I'm thinking a rolled or similary scrapped EV with Vehicle to Grid (V2G) capability gives you a nice efficient generator (in regen mode) and a nice big battery that you can easily just 'plug in'
"...Several vehicle manufacturers support V2G in some electric cars, including models from Ford, Hyundai, Kia, Mitsubishi, Nissan, and Volkswagen..."

What are you thinking in terms of using the engine's waste heat at home?
Plumbing into the cooling system's heat is easy enough.
For exhaust heat; someone here had a bunch of EGR coolers they'd saved from somewhere for sale...
