The problem is that there is no engine computer (that I know of) that is designed to run a gas tractor engine. The fuel curves and operating perameters would have to be completely reset to make the engine run properly, as no car engine has an rpm range from 600 to 2400 rpm. It certainly could be done, but it would require someone who has a lot of time and money. You would need a crankshaft sensor, camshaft sensor, MAP sensor or a mass airflow sensor, a throttle body, an engine computer, and a 12 volt electrical system, a fuel pump, improved filtering system, an electronic distributor and a lot of know how. The sensor on the crank is a hall-effect sensor, which uses magnets forged into the surface of the crank journal to "trip a switch", so that would have to be added too. Also, you are right, the fuel system could be used as a governor, but the mechanical governor could be utilized as well. It could be done, but I have never heard of anyone trying.
