Default T-bird Turbo into 4th gen. Civic

I have a '88 Thunderbird Turbo Coupe with a smashed front end and a '91 civic DX thats just too damn slow. How would I go about putting the ford turbo into the Honda engine bay? Where can I find Tech articles or guides on this sort of mod.

P.S. I was referred here by a member of www.HondaSwap.com

Maximum Boost by Corky Bell is always a good read. Check it out.

I was telling a co-worker about my idea for a custom turbo and he said an old friend of his made one out of a coffee can! I'd like to see the specs on it..
