4BT CAV to VE Injection Pump??

I haven't seen this in person yet, so I am just going off of what he has told me and trying to gather parts for him so when I get time I can get it fixed for him. Here is the question.

My brother in law bought a Cummins 4BT powered generator that has a CAV injection pump. Engine wouldn't start, I told him to pull the pump off and take it to a pump shop since fuel wasn't getting to the injectors. Pump is shot, I guess they are discontinued and big money to repair. My thought is to replace it with a VE pump. Couple questions on that:

1) Is there a VE pump with a governor that you can set it at 1800 RPMs and it will keep that engine speed as engine load increases?

2) Will a VE pump bolt in place of a CAV pump

3) Anything else I should be aware of?

I was thinking about calling Seth and seeing if he can set a VE pump governor up to work on a generator.
