Prob depends on how mechanically inclined one is.

How did you get a prelude engine inside a Civic and not have the faintest idea how long it takes to do a swap?

how bout just answering the guys question christ..

dude just get yourself a cherry picker, a few jacks and jackstands. jack up the car.

get some masking tape and tape each sensor the wireharness coneects to .. then give the same number to the plug on the harness so you can match them easy later or use the old motor as a reference. Disconnect all the plugs

take out the radiator and fans or you'll bend or break it pulling the motor.

now hook up the cherry picker to the bolts usually provided on the motor's block.

put tension on the motor and start unbolting the mounts. You'll have at least three maybe five. One on the driver side, the tranny mount (which is on the passenger side, one on the rear near the firewall.

Then you might have 2-3 more depending on the application. a torque mount and ac mount maybe.

depending on how many "luxuries" you have hooked up like ac and power steering you'll need to take the wires and hoses off for each just mark everything with a number on both sides.. it will make your life so much easier later
