Newbie Questions

Complete Newbie Here so please bear with me.
I have an 05 TJ with 150K miles and I want to go ahead and get a head start on a stroker to pop in place when its time to retire the current engine.
I have tried to do some research on here but I get lost in the details very quickly. I would call myself a shade tree mechanic. I've done the basics such as swapping axles, lift kits, etc.. however I must admit that tearing into a motor and building a stroker does scare me a little.
End goal is a moderate stroker, nothing excessive.
First question, I plan on buying another engine from a wrecked Jeep so I can build it without affecting my DD. Other than matching up year models is there anything I should be looking for in a 4.0 engine to use as a base for a stroker build? It appears that I can pick up an 03-06 TJ 4.0 for around $3-400 locally.
Thanks for you input. If this question has already been asked please direct me to the thread.
