my engine has developed a knock and it's about time I do a 7th gen swap. I was thinking about doing it with all 7th gen accessories.

Is there any known issues with going that route besides the extra cost?

I know I would need custom A/C hoses and Power steering hose..

 

I cover all that and more in my swap thread. I kept all 7th gen accessories.

I'm thinking I'll go the cheaper route and and reuse my accessories. I just put in a new compressor, lines, drier and expansion valve. My power steering pump and alternator are also pretty new. I also have a 2J racing pulley on my current engine. everything under the hood is pretty much tip top except for the light knock.

aside from the swap my car still needs a paint job so I should do the best cost effective method of doing the swap.. plus I want to put in new carpet and headliner..
