Default Beginner questions about engine conversion?

The past couple of months I have been really wanting to build a large scale warbird. The only things thats been holding me back has been the cost. Ive always heard about people converting a weed cutter into a working gasoline rc engine for a very cheap cost, but never actually thought of it until ive come across this forum. Ive read i couple of posts and to my surprise ive noticed that its easier and cheaper then i thought (i think?). I dont really have any experience with gasoline engines however i understand the basic 2-stroke glow-engine.

Im just wondering how a beginner would go about starting this project.
Is there a website or thread that explains the basics of this topic? Which type of gasoline is used, what tools are needed, costs, difficulty, and essential information to successfully complete this?

Any answers, information or advice would be appreciated,

Thank you.
