Will an AK74 body fit on AK47s?

No, that will fit on any TM or TM clone, You may likely have to sand some paint off for certain things but it atleast ensures a tight fit.

You do have to sand the interior of the element body to fit it on a Kraken. If you aren't very handy with tools/do not know some DIY techniques, you should not buy the body kit as it involves alot of sanding and trial and error.

If you plan to buy this body to replace a TM AK, then you shouldn't have any problem fitting it without sanding/filing.

While I used a JG mechbox for a basically scratch build I wouldn't say it was difficult just kinda annoying or time consuming. What's different about the Kraken? Is the front end different or something?

I did recieve my AK74 metal body and ive placed it on the Kraken AK47 and theres a couple of issues to modify , the selector switch you have to file around a little bit and on the handle grip you have to cut off the pins to make it fit and about the mag it fits but you have to force it to click.

Good stuff. I actually also did the same, took a Kraken and the metal body and a wood kit and threw it all together. I have the same issues as you, filed out the selector hole, chopped the grip tabs, and the mag is a tight fit. Next order I'm going to get some AK74 mags to see if they fit better.

Glad to hear you got her all together
