Yea, I realized that right after I hit send.

Plus I'm fairly sure that the PRV is an interference engine so replacing
the chain wouldn't be half of the repair needed.

Anyone had much luck putting a B23/B230FT engine in a Delorean? I can't
imagine that the plumbing would be more cumbersome than the PRV.

Probably not worth it if all you're looking to do is facilitate an easy
cam belt change on the side of the road. :) Weight difference wouldn't
be that great but you can build out 300+ HP quite eaily.
