Since the Cummins 4BT engines are used in so many applications, it's hard to know what spec could be applied to automotive use. The generator had a slightly different turbo than the marine application, and also a heavier flywheel.
A friend in the marine diesel business tells me they are rated in the 110HP range in boats, but I have no figures for torque curves. I never loaded the generator to full capacity, but ran the house (maybe 8-12kw loading)for a few days, and it seemed like the fuel tank would not go down, so it has to be a fairly economical engine.
