If you have cruise control I have always thought that would make a good governor, you usually need something to maintain a constant speed. I once ran a 4" dredge pump with a Plymouth slant six and it worked quite well. left the 3 speed right on it and it would run in high in cooler weather but when it got hotter I would have to shift down to second. Did not have any governor, just a micro-adjuster on the throttle. Get it primed and give it enough throttle to pump well. If it sucked up a big gas bubble and lost its prime it would race a little but I was always nearby to shut it down. I knew someone that used a Ford Pinto (2300) engine to run a wood splitter(where you would really need a governor) but I don't know what they did about that. Good luck!
