Only problem I see is noise. Plumbing an external radiator from a generator into your house would be easy. Even better if it was plumbed into a concrete floor which would act as a giant radiant heat sink.
You would have a BTU loss because muffler exhausts aren’t designed to collect heat, but you’d gain the extra electrical BTUs. You could run the exhaust through a water jacket to collect some of that heat, though.
