Well, I've been a lurker here for quite some time and after a few speed bumps I'm ready to plunge into the world of a stroker motor. Just a little background on my plan/ideas....very basic a t this point. And please feel free to to guide, help or interfere if my lack of knowledge becomes too apparent.
Currently I have a 1983 Jeep Cherokee with a 4.2. It is the final year of the Full Size Cherokee (FSJ) It also has a T-5 transmission. Both are VERY tired and the time has come for a refresh. I picked up a 1997 4.0 and AX-15 well within my budget. I currently have a 258 crank pulled from a different 4.2.
One thing that I don not possess is the PCM or the wiring harness. I truly wanted to stay away from splicing that wiring into my ancient Cherokee. I was looking at running a Holley Sniper for two reasons: ease of wiring and keep the "look" as close to stock as possible. Does anyone foresee an issue with this type of fuel system?
Also, This is jut a cruising vehicle. I will not be wheeling or racing this. I would love for it to have enough torque to pull this brick around but don't need to break horsepower records. I'm looking for a build that will be fun, yet reliable as well.
I already sent a feeler out to Russ via email for his suggestions and vast knowledge and am eagerly awaiting his response. But I would also love to get feedback and knowledge from this forum as well. Thank you for your time and insight. It's greatly appreciated!

This is the project that the stroker will be transplanted into.
