My understanding of the requirements is that if the engine and vehicle are manufactured after 1987.. as long as you have all the standard emission controls in place you're good to go. It will only become an issue if you cross over the major adr revision dates.. ie.1972-76, 1976-86, 1986 to present day.
So.. you can't put a "leaded" engine in a post '86 car but you could put an ls in pretty well anything built after '86. You just need to have the cats and such installed.
Edit: Actually on those rules you could put an ls in pretty much anything. A motor that complies with current adr's (anything built after '86) could be an option for any vehicle. There's obviously other requirements you need to comply with, but my point is "the engine must be newer than the car" is a bit general and not necessarily correct.
Edit: Edit: Didn't mean to sound like a d*ck about it haha.. just how I understand the rules.

A friend of mine specialises in LS conversions and does a lot of patrols. He just told me that very soon he will have to get emissions tests done on every conversion to be able to get them engineered. $1200 per test whether it passes or fails, if it fails you have to fix the issue and then pay the $1200 to be retested.
He is doing a GU at the moment and is rushing to get it finished so he can get it engineered before this new regulation comes in.

I would believe that. There's a lot of public pressure now for lower emission everything so we're probably about due for tighter regulations. Soon your engine conversions will probably only be practical for club members with a special reg rather than your everyday drivers.

Simple practice Gents!
Complete lazy mechanical and electrical nuffy me now. Buy an already legally converted/numbered beast that needs fixing if you’re wishing.
Learn how to modify cooling/toughen what the last big coin bloke got wrong.
Have fun for some years and get aboard the unfortunate Euro emissions crud coming to an island continent soon :-(
