Correct about the sync. Its not the kernal, but the editor rom that needs changing for video timing. You can assemble a custom editor rom from my editor rom project available on github. Webpage:

I should add an option to invert the video....

The best option is to change it to ~15kHz to match NTSC or PAL timing. At that point you can use a simple one-chip circuit to generate composite video ($2). You could also build something like my ColourPET circuit to generate RGBI or RGB analog for a Commodore 108x Monitor, or to a SCART TV (not all), or to a GBS82xx converter (video scaler)  ($25) to get VGA, or to a SCART to HDMI adapter (video scaler) ($30).
