S-series are the best cars to learn on. howstuffworks.com is what i suggest. They are full of information :)

The next best way is to buy a Saturn that doesnt run, and dismantle the engine and transmission - with the intent of rebuilding them. This assumes you live in an area where you wont be hounded by the Zoning Police for violating some local ordinance.
The 3rd best way would be to buy an engine from a salvage yard, and bring it home, and rebuild it in the garage or basement. Thats mostly how I learned - broke a lot of parts in the process too.
