My project ended and I now am looking for a new H1B employer. I have about 10 days left of my 60-day grace period. If a new employer files an LCA for me within the 60 days, can the H1B change-of-employer then be filed shortly after the 60 days have passed?

Generally speaking, no, this would not work. In order to be able to port to a new H1B employer, one would need to have the change-of-employer petition filed within the 60-day grace period. (21.Aug.2019)
