NCRS will accept a car without its original engine, for example if an engine out of another '67 Corvette is installed, it could pass. One person brought a '66 Corvette with an engine out of a car about 100 cars later. No problem, Top Flight honors were awarded. The owner even wrote an article for The Restorer magazine and the title was "Top Flight without the original engine". I think NCRS believes that a car doesn't have to have an original engine to achieve top honors. A CE engine with a correct casting date and casting number would work great. This car would be at about 98% before any other judging began. It could still Top Flight with a 94% if is't a decent car.
