Differences between automotive & airplane engines

How are "normal" airplane engines tuned to run at a lower rpm? What
changes would have to be made to an automotive engine to shift the
power band down accordingly?
The most common way to move the "power band" into a useable prop rpm
range is to use a gearbox or PSRU. Most of the auto conversions I've
heard of utilize this approach.
