I have an original paint 1956 KHK and may be able to help with accurate cosmetic information, i.e. what was used on a 1956 K Model. They only made K Models for 5 years but there are many differences between the years as there were many running changes along the way.
Good luck with your project.

The cams are easily identified as "K" etc. (but exactly which is more complicated, there are many different grinds, this site has the best information): they all have tapered lobes, taller facing you and smaller facing the engine.
The cylinders and heads you're looking for have casting numbers ending in "-54" (not "-52").
If original isn't important, you can use any frame after 1954(?) including iron Sportster through 1969.
Keep us posted as the build goes along.
Happy New Year!
