I’d recommend finding a mentor. My old company (Capgemini) did a good job in formalizing the OCM process.

There are limited to no resources specific to M&A, unfortunately, since the expectation is either/both orgs support the change as necessary. Look at the deal thesis to get an idea of what is supposed to happen (culture change or keep the same, headcount reduction, etc.) and adjust accordingly.

Sometimes it can be as easy as looking at the incoming organization as a mass hiring event; everyone goes through onboarding the same way a new hire does. Just peel away the things that won't change (again, per the deal).

Happy to offer some advice if you need it (supported 3 $1B-ish acquisitions).
