The best thing for an engine swap is to go and get the Chilton's repair manual or even better yet, go get the Honda repair manual for this and it will make things alot easier for you. BTW, if this is a JDM Prelude, you will need to get the proper harness for it as the JDM harness is made for a RHD vehicle and the Civic that you have ( USDM ) is a LHD so the wiring harness is too short.
