Default 478M swap

I'm sure this has been discussed but I searched the threads and didn't see any step by step swap detailed. I have K1000 with 305E, I have purchased a 478 that needs to be assembled. I'm have the following questions:

Do I swap timing/front cover from 305 to 478? Or run the 478 setup?
Who makes the reduced flywheel for the 8 lug crank?

I do need lifters, rod/main bearings, piston rings etc for 478. Any good suppliers beyond Egge and Hastings?

Thank you

Alexi
