You asked: "....first of all the engine, I have seen in a few places that the PRV-6 was in a few Volvos. my question is exactly which years and models and how different." The B-28F PRV-6 engine was used in the 79-81 Volvo 260 GLE and 82-87 760 GLE's. The latest version of this engine, B-280, was used in all 88-89 760 GLE and 90 780 models. The DeLorean uses a modified version of the B-28F however it is not directly interchangeable with the Volvo version. The Volvo 260 and GLE's were the top of the line luxury models and accounted for less than 10% of total sales for the years they were sold. For this reason they are quite rare. I have first hand knowledge of this situation because I owned an 80 260 GLE several years back and now own and drive an 90 760 GLE.
