So I just updated a friends old site as a favor to a nice clean wordpress job.

He wasn't fully convinced, so I decided to make it on a separate domain (his-domain.com , instead of hisdomain.com).

Well now he wants to go ahead and use his old domain (hisdomain.com), which is hosting his old site on his old server.

So my question is, how do I transfer the original domain to the new wordpress site and host without jacking up his rankings that bad. I realize there is going to be some losses because it's a completely new site.

What he has going for him is domain age and backlinks. I'm thinking the new WP site will do well with his old domain and backlinks.. But I'm curious of the best way to make the transfer while being as safe as possible.

Sincere appreciation.
