Hello from the Kansas City Metro Area

I am getting ready to rebuild a 02' 4.0L from a Grand Cherokee and researching building it as a 4.7L stroker. A fellow Metro Crawler forum member built a 4.6L and suggested I go with dish pistons and 8:1 compression and build it as a 4.7L Stroker.
I am not an "engine guy" but I understand the basics. I am looking for a solid recipe to build using a 4.2L crank and rods. I am looking to replace the pistons and reuse the head, rockers and keep a stock profile cam shaft. I have read with the right recipe and machining that I can have built a "reliable" 4.7L that will run on 87 Octane without pinging.
So without can you show me the way?
Straight forward advice /help, absent of is always appreciated!
