After the world experimented a huge blow to the infrastructure and populations numbers the world is starting to heal from the destruction imposed upon it

Its the year 21XX and the manufactturing methods are recovered to 2020 level of sophistication and here's the challenge: the electric grid has been greatly destroyed and lots of small town are popping out in places and as expected these towns would love some creature comforts such as electrical power Your task is to build a generator that is:

Highly efficient
Long life
Can run on any thing that's flammable (organic fuels tend to have a Higher ron than normal gasoline so to I think I will say Ron 95)
Quiet.
Afforadble by the savings of a small town ($3500)
Cat isnt mandatory having some weird smelly fumes isnt such a high concern, most engine will be lean anyway
Easy mantenience (no DI please)

once the dust settles from the comrade cup I will get to work on building the greatest generator ever devised!

I got a 10.0L pushrod V8 with 31.41% efficiency, 27.7 loudness, a rev limit of 3000RPM (seams reasonable for a generator like this), 100hp @ 1000RPM and 83.8 reliability (no quality sliders used). Just leave it at idle and it makes more power than your average Opel Corsa.

Perhaps an RPM limit for the competition? Generators typically don't go much further than idle
