Default 4.2L

I am looking at getting a 4.2L engine for my car. I was wondering what, if any, modifications I would have to do to make it fit or if the computer would have to be adjusted.

The stroker, not by much, but it's cheaper.

It all depends. Look at it this way: No matter what, the engine is gonna come out of your car to get this done. If the motor is coming, why not stockpile SSM stuff and have it all installed at once? Unless you arent gunning for a performance car that is. As far as price, it all depends on what exactly you have done, and who does it.
