Default Should i buy new accessories?

Well im fixin to start puttin the 6.0 together...all i need is oil pump, timing chain, head bolts, and injectors....i was wanderin if i needed to buy new accessories...i plan to use alot of them from my 5.3 like alternator and water pump...should i buy new ones? and what about coil packs? im assuming i can just take every accessory i need off of the 5.3 and stick it on the 6.0 is this a good idea? thanks!

Keep all your 5.3 accessories. No need to buy new ones. Your coil packs are fine.

The water pump is pretty easy to get to, so unless you have 100K plus, I wouldn't consider changing it out.

When you swap the motor, you can pull the alt/ps bracket off to the side, as well as the a/c compressor. We didn't even have to pull the radiator to get my 4.8 out! Good luck with the swap...can't wait to drive mine!
