Faction change - few questions

Hi all.
I recently thought about changing faction in Lordraeon from alliance to horde on my priest.
Is everything there working correctly or any issues appear that i should know about?
From what i have read guild, arena ratings are the only thing affected... but i want to be sure..
Do i need to worry about personal bank / items equipped / gold or items in bags?
Will i lose any reputations or they will get converted to opposing faction?
Will faction specific recipes that i already learned from engineering like Mekgineer's chopper get converted to Mechano-Hog or i will have to create / buy them again?

Did anyone ever try this option and can share experiences or knows details about faction change through site?

From what I know, no. Your faction specific items like the ones from ToC should convert to Horde counterparts. All other items should stay where they are and nothing should be lost.

In theory, no. It should all convert to Horde counterparts, but honestly it's possible you lose some small amount of reputation. I know I've lost 1k while switching races on Horde side, without doing full faction switch. Could be that I lost the small amount of base reputation (Orcs having increased rep with Orgrimmar on start for example)
