engine swap

i recently locked up my 302 in my 87 f150 because of an offroading incident and i dont feel like ripping apart that engine to find out what is wrong so i bought another 302 from a bronco. i plan on swapping them. any advice before i start tearing in? remember, anything helps....ive never done any engine swap before.
