Because the work loads of a car engine and an aircraft engine are quite different.
Most likely just some tweaks won't do it.
Apart from that, if you want to use an engine on an aircraft it has to be CERTIFIED. And that means a lot of paperwork with HUGE costs for the manufacturer.
Is there a market big enough to offset those costs? Unlikely.
