Fergus,
It seems that the 914 drive doesn't spin fast enough for the SD20 to
produce the rated power.
How about leaving the prop governor on the top pick-up pad, and
installing the alternator at the rear of the engine, like in

The Europa certainly has enough room below the cowl, since the original
idea came from Europa builders Jim Butcher and Jim Nelson.
Season's greetings
