There are several variations of automotive engines used for power units. If you can find a power unit it'll have a governor on it. Example when I worked at the rendering company in Florida we had a pump IIRC 6x4x12 that had a Ford 2.3 (Pinto) engine on it, we used it to pump fats and oils into ships. Driving across the Oklahoma Panhandle years ago I saw numerous engines on irrigation pumps, they looked like car V-8s set up with governors to run pumps. I've seen Chrysler slant sixes and Ford 300 straight sixes set up as power units. If you can find a power unit it'll more than likely have a governor and clutch/PTO set up in place and a hood and control panel. Many combines, swathers and self propelled balers had car derived engines on them, again you'll get the governor and maybe a pto clutch in the deal. There are belt driven governors out there, again found on industrial power units, agricultural applications using automotive engines and some turf grass equipment, an example that comes to mind early Toro Groundsmasters used a Continental R-839 that was really a Renault car engine, they had a belt drive governor. Some turf grass stuff used VW diesel engines that would be a sweet power unit to score if you could find one, you didn't mention diesel but you don't have ignition or carburetors to mess with and diesel fuel stores better than unleaded gasoline.
