my Guess is yes, since the Volvo V6 and 4 are interchangeable.
I believe that the bell housings are different between the PRV-6 (B27/B28/B280) and the Red Block engines (B21/B23/B230). Since the AW-70/71 transmissions were fitted to both series of engines, getting the proper bellhousing shouldn't be a problem for Volvo applications using the AW-70/71 transmissions. However, -putting a Red Block (B230) engine into a Delorean and getting it to mate to the stock transmission might be a bit of a problem...
From reading about those who have put the Volvo I6 in 240s and 740s, is that they will bolt up also.
The White-Block (I-6 and later engines for FWD vehicles) engines and the Red-Block engines have different bolt paterns and thus different bellhousings. If you look closely at the TurboBricks post, you'll notice that he's using the AW30-43 mated to the I-6. That particular engine and tranny combo was pulled directly from a 960, which was the only rear-wheel drive chassis to receive a White Block engine.
I don't doubt that you can put a B230 engine into a Delorean, but you may either have to have some modifications done to the Delorean bellhousing, or swap in a transmission and appropriate bellhousing from a Volvo application (M46/M47/AW70/AW71).
God bless,
