Back around 2000 (!)  I got to run around part of Germany in a ISAD fitted Ford Diesel. ISAD = Integrated Starter Alternator Dampener.  Prototype, so it was a blast to hit the streets with it.      The vehicle was a 50hp diesel, but the ISAD could "pump" up to 70hp for around a minute.
I'm forgetting here.  Is the power output of a DC motor linearly proportional to the voltage applied?  If this is the case, then this start-alt would be a direct drop-in for what we're talking about. 20Hp @ 42V -> 5.7Hp @ 12V.  It probably has the typical 1" splined shaft that would make the installation a breeze.
