1990 DX to receive 1990 Si motor...

Hi folks,
I am a newbie to this forum and a hack DIY mechanic looking for information regarding a few things.
To begin with I have purchased a donor car (1990 civic Si) for $300.00 Canadian. The wrecking yard that owns it will deliver it to me to take off what I need to do the swap and then pick it up when I am done with it.

So, what do I need to do the swap into my dx? I have heard talk of throttle cables, wiring loom and rear engine/tranny mount but need a complete rundown of what I truly need to do before I start.

Next, the Si motor will be receiving some attention while it is out, doing basic checks on it and some mods while it is on the stand. What would be some suggestions for modifications/inspections while it is out and on the stand. Both cars are manual transmission, and the DX had a clutch put in about 1000kms ago. Hoefully I can reuse this clutch in the swap.

Any help via email or this forum would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Mclay
