autocrossing idea and engine swap questions...

well the other day i was brainstorming (and wanting more horsepower naturally ) and now have a idea and a few questions:

1. in autocross, it is stated that you can switch out parts from different models of the same car (rear ends, wheels, etc) and since all non-turbo rx7's are grouped into one class, would that mean i could get away with swapping a s5 engine and still be CSP legal? (i doubt it but i figure i would ask)
2. also, i know a lot have done the t2 swaps, are s5 n/a engines a hard or easy swap? im in the middle of searching now of what i need, but could someone tell me how much this would cost? and could i get away with the stock gearbox and rearend?

either way i think ill go through with the swap when i get the cash

Thanks
