1967 200d WMO 80/20 RUG. GENERATOR GOVORNOR?

I'm looking at picking up a wrecked 67 200d, need parts for a couple others finnies I have. Owner says it's a 5 bearing motor, I'm not super familiar with the early diesels, more on the 220,230,250,280 gassers. I know the om 617 will run happily on cleaned wmo 80/20 so I figure this will. I'm wondering how you would go about converting a throttled vehicle diesel to running at a fixed speed to power a generator. I've got a big Onan propane powered 3 phase generator set with a 20 hp I believe off the top of my head. I can get basically all I can burn wmo and centrifuge it so, free shop power! Anyone know enough to chime in on this? Maybe kill a couple cylinders and use them to fill my massive compressor bank?
