Not reliable enough, and the gas mileage would be killer. The engine swap has to be focused primarily on reliability. I could do a streetported 20B, but honestly I like the idea of doing a RE swap instead, keeping boost levels low, and have a tune for cruising that allows for better highway fuel economy. Not to mention cost.
