Source of newbie info?

Looking for a good source of info for a beginner. Books, websites, etc. I hate to start out in a project like this without having a good working knowledge of what I’m about to face. You guys are waaaayyyy beyond my knowledge and I at least want to be able to ask informed questions.
Thanks.

Hey, same with me! I’ve found this website to be helpful, and this one has a lot of different kits. May I ask what kind of conversion are you hoping to do?
