Posted this on the link too...
It says nothing about swapping an LS for an LS. They think they got it with the '97 cutoff, except for those of us already swapped. LoL. Too ba dits an invitational and they'd never let it slide. To be competitive you'd have to start with a Chevy so no frame mount swapping, a car preferably already retrofitted and plumbed for EFI, maybe an older TPI swap/LT1 or just a carbed engine with an external pump, a car without a torque arm but already has a 4l60/700r4 installed. I'd have some pins made up for the motor mounts, not bolts with a terribly sloppy fit to just ram em in there so the engine literally just does not fall out of the car. I bet if you were properly prepped with a well selected chassis you could do a swap in under an hour.
