That would give you a powerful, controllable winch with a reasonable outlay. Dan It has always puzzled me why someone in the US hasn't already approached Mike Grove at Skylaunch with a view to building Skylaunches under licence instead of trying to re-invent the winches that Skylaunch has eclipsed. That way you would have a thoroughly proven system, be able to source GM marine V8s and transmission units locally, and not have to transport heavy mechanical assemblies across the Atlantic at all.
