You would also have to get a properly curved magazine for an AK-47.
BTW an AK-47 has a machined receiver, not a stamped receiver. An AKM is the closest you could get with a gas blowback unless you modified an AEG.

Ah, my mistake on AK47/ AKM. For some reason I thought the AKM was the variant with metal underfolding stock : s I'll edit my post
As far as curved magazines go, looks like the WE AK PMC takes them. And if it's the same receiver as the 74, the magazines should be interchangeable.
I want to do this project for a few reasons, first being I already own the WE haha. Also, the WE has a full travel bolt while the GHK has a 'regular' travel bolt (only uses about half of the bolt's raceway, judging from videos). That small feature goes a long way towards realism for me. Finally, I'm doing this project because I enjoy working with guns (swapping a trigger group is fun for me lol) and would rather build a quality machine myself than just trade money for one. Kinda like building a relationship with the rifle ; P
I'll be calling TorontoAirsoft on Friday to talk to the WE tech about this, but any answers are still appreciated
