The only engines that can obtain an EO for blanket anti-tampering exemption are pre-OBDII (read 95/96 and older) engines, so no newer engine swaps cannot be exempted in the same way, "they" won't even look at a filed application. This is the policy shift and is the reason an older early 90s subie ej22 can be legal if you follow the KEP EO, but a cleaner even more modern version of the same engine would not be able to get an exemption.
