Default Engine Swap 97 prelude

Sup, i picked up an engine for my 1997 prelude type sh, i bought a 97 prelude type sh motor.. I want to swap it out, Im pretty mechanically inclined, Does anybody have a book to show you how to do it. in a .pdf form. Or a book that i can buy. I do not want to pay to put it in. Also does any body have any pointers or anything???

Well actually i picked up the prelude from this kid for 3,000.00 mint body and everything. the only thing that the problem is that the bottom block i think is fucked. The head is mint crower cams, valves, retainers, all that good ****. I didnt feel like dealing with someone elses **** ups so i just bought a new engine to replace the one that is in there... I guess the kid said it makes a chirping noise every 10 minutes, and the only other thing it leaks gas from a injector which i think is just a seal... the car starts right up and everything...

Not a bad price for a Prelude...All I have to say is, I hope you have air tools, cause they will make the job a whole lot easier
