Well, there's no federal regulation regarding it. It just doesn't exist. (except, of course, tampering with emissions equipment) For swaps, laws very from state to state, but the only regulation I could find were emissions related. California, for example, decrees that you can't install an engine older than the chassis. For a V8 RX-7, this isn't a problem.
But considering in Virginia you can build your own car, I'm pretty sure they don't care what engine is in your car, as long as it meets emissions and safety inspection regulations.
If someone busts your balls only because "that engine don't belong thar", they're just being a dick.
