The good part is that a standby genreator is probably new, very low hrs. the bad part is that your gnerator is probably governed at 188 rpm, and probably has a different pump and governor than a vehicle or industrial motor. If it's naturally aspirated then it may have different internals than a turbocharged 105-130 hp version. Don't get it unless you ascertain:
1) The pump is the same as industrial versions
2) It is turbocharged.
It will still need a different flywheel and bellhousing.
The best bet for takeout Cummins is UPS takeouts. They have vehicle parts, are turbo'ed, and have GM bellhousings and are hooked up to SM465s.
