"mini me" swap questions

ok for those of u who dont know what it is take a look at this


im not sure how many (if anyone) has done it in this area but ill ask anyway

im only 17 and i dont really know anyhting about taking apart engines and whatnot (ill be taking an auto course next semester, but knowing the school i wont learn anything usefull for this mini me swap)

im hoping to get a 92 - 95 dx hatch at the start of this summer and wanted more then just the stock 102 hp while keeping the weight of the dx... i know a lot of ppl say just swap a zc or w/e but i gota work off the stock engine. (no mods like swaps or exhuast or intake)

is this easy?

and assuming i wont know how to do anyhting with an engine.. how much would this cost to get somone else to do it?? or is it really simple that even a complete noob like myself would be able to handle it?

thx

Do you have any previous experience with ANYTHING on cars, and do you have ANY tools at all??

I recommend in this order:

Car
Tool
Maintenance Parts
Performance/Safety Parts (susp/brakes)
Engine Performance Parts
Appearance Parts

If your hatch comes to you with rust, I recommend you take care of that first!!

also make sure you have all the proper tools, ie torque wrench ect, or you will be wishing you had another hobby...
