Would it be possible to just use the 4.2 short nose crank with 4 balance weights and 4.2 rods on either stock or aftermarket pistons?

Yes, that is the basis of the stroker.

Yes, but can I do it with just these parts, of course fine tuning for proper compression?

Depends on how much wear is on the other parts such as timing set, cam and lifters, etc. Also, if you change the cam you may need to change the springs

The motor has 125k on it. I would do the timing chain while Im in there, but probably nothing else unless it was bad.
