I've got a detailed write-up in the 2nd gen section on depowering the racks, tons of pics. I used the flying miata as a guide
DO NOT just drop that used engine in. Learn from my mistake. When I got my 13B-RE I could tell it had already been rebuilt once becuase it had the TII/REW exhaust sleeves in it. It lived a short time and died a PAINFUL death becuase a few seals were carbon locked. It would've been cheaper for me to crack it open, clean everything out and replace all the seals.
Personally I would skip on buying the used engine until you crack your old one open and see what's bad. It could be about the same price to rebuild your old one that it will be buy a used/condition unknown engine and drop it in. I know of too many people that have dropped in "good condition" used engines and they don't last long at all.
Personally I think you're making an assumtion on your old engine being completety fragged.
