240 diesel generator?

Hi all, I haven't been active on this forum for about 3 years but I did get a bunch of excellent advice about buying my first diesel. I am about to start a unique project and need some technical help. I live in Florida, where hurricanes and power outages rule the day. My plan is to purchase a PTO generator and power it with a 240D engine. The generator requires 48HP at 540 rpm to generate 200 continuous amps. I have purchased a running 240D from my local MB shop and am in the process of removing the engine and tranny to hook up to the generator. My problem is that I can't locate an accurate torque/horsepower curve for this engine. I know that max HP is 62 at 4000rpm and max torque is 97Lb/Ft at 2400, but I need to know exact HP or torque outputs at various rpms. I also need to find out the gear ratios for the attached 4spd trans. If anyone has this information, or knows where to get it, I would be most appreciative!
