Engine swap Civic 86 EW1 to EW3

I have received an donor car which has EW3 PGM FI engine on it. My car(1986 Civic sedan) has EW1 carburattor engine. I want to change my car´s engine to EW3. Is there on internet some tutorials for doing it? Has anyone done it allready? All hints/suggestions are welcome.
I´ve figured myself out that there are two ways doing it:
1)swapping the whole engine(everything from electonics, gas tank fuel pump to axles)
or
2)swapping the cylinder head+everything on it + electronics

Does EW3 cylinderhead fit on the EW1 motor block?


Which gearing gives me a better acceleration (i´m driving alone mostly):
Gear I II
1) 2.961 2.961
2) 1.764 1.764
3) 1.181 1.192
4) 0.846 0.866
5) 0.714 0.718

Final gear 4.266 4.250

One more question: what does the fuel cut-off solenoid valve does excatly in a carburatteur? Does it regulate idling revs?
