If the Cummins were half as common to find for a reasonable price I would
LOVE to use one. Would be the best choice for my M37 as well.

If you can get a mbz for scrap metal prices, it's worth looking for
a 2400rpm generator head. Otherwise, why not use a Cummins 4bt from
an old bread truck? With torque peak around 1600, they should be
quite happy with a 4 pole generator.
