Default Im planning on droppin a LS!! where do i start??

I have been debating on what to do first. I have a 98 civic and I have decided to drop an ls motor in it...any recomendations on where to go, what all do i need, and how much would it the actual cost of getting the engine into my car...not how much the engine would cost, but how much to get it dropped? How much could I get an LS engine for? please respond appropriately...

I bought my complete LS for 2000.
Engine, Tranny, Axles, Ecu, Shift Linkage, mounts.
Your gonna also have to get a 99-00 Rear SI mount (the trianle looking part).
Labor charges on average I would say is 500 bucks.

I'm in the process of doing the LS myself. I got my for 2K and im installing it myself. Good luck with the swap and hit me up with an IM if you have anymore questions
