If you want to drop a C5 engine into a Chevette, go for it, just don't modify the firewall, or much of anything else to do it!

I'm not by any means a rules nazi (and therefore don't really care), but your interpretation above doesn't seem to jive with what I read in the first sentence:
"Engine block must be a production unit manufactured and badged the same as the original standard or optional engine for that model." That sounds to me like the engine has got to be a unit that was at least an option for your model car. The C5 5.7L LS1 motor was obviously never an option for a 1969 Chevette, so therefore I don't see how it's legal according to the above rule.
