OK Motor Breakdown HELP!!!

Im buying a used 13B motor off one of my friends it claims to have 60K or something around that number on it. It's already out of the car so I don't know what goes to what. I plan on doing some aggressive manifold porting and changing any parts that need to be replaced. I don't think at 60K a rebuild is nescessary unless something is seriously wrong with the engine. Firts off I need to take it apart. Is there any links on doing so? I'm completely new to rotary engines. I saw a link about porting and putting it back together but I need a noob step by step instruction on how to take it apart. Second, I will port out the manifold according to a HOW TO I saw in the archive. Should I try any other porting even if it's just a little bit? I just would like to do more to make my engine faster because this is a N/A engine. Is there any parts I could buy and that would give my motor more power? And Finally does anyone have instructions on putting the motor back in the car? I am not going to have any emissions control on this (if thats possible to do AND it's legal in my area) and I won't have AC either so those items I'm not too worried about those items. But any help and/or links to this would be great...I already used search but nothing came up . O BTW this is going in an 88 GXL where the engine bay looks like a total rat nest. That'll be going out too...Thanks guys and please don't flame me for being rotarded.

im suprised nobody jumped on this and screamed "read the fsm" but if your looking for a how to that is step by step by a how to video from Ra or atkins. i think the ra video is better myself. but that covers the rebuild only . for all other things. remember how things went and take pics and notes as you go when you start taking it apart. use baggies labeled with what the bolts and part are for.
as for putting the engine back in the car. check out the factory service manual .. there are a few online that can be a help. or a haynes. i have used all of them . they all say the same thing basically .. but since i see your not worried about emissions or ac ,, check out rotaryresurrection.com in the tech section ,, "emissions removal" should be a big help .
