The governor and the valve body are type matched - so if you have a 722.303 valve body ideally you need the matching governor (both the governors and the valve bodies in the 722.303 or the 722.315 - "diesel" transmissions are the same - but different governors and valve bodies are used for "petrol" transmissions)

I wouldn't go swapping a "diesel" valve body with a "petrol" one - that would make Bowden cable and vacuum adjustments pretty weird if you leave the "petrol" governor in there.

If you want to mate a "petrol" transmission to a diesel engine I think you are best trying to adjust the transmission (if needed) to be as close as possible to the petrol specifications listed in the FSM and see how you go.

(do you need FSM data?)
