What guts does it have? What cam? Heads? Intakes?
Stock fuel system will more than likely be fine. It would take a pretty over the top N/A 4.2L to need major fuel upgrades. Don't waste your time on a TB. They aren't worth it.

Becauase "MOST" strokers are forged kits.
Your stock fuel system should be OK as long as you don't do any other mods. But I say while you're at it, swap the cam, port the intake, port the heads or buy high flow heads, and then upgrade the fuel system, because all of that has to come off when doing a stroker swap, you also need to hone and balance the engine in accordance to the specs of the stroker kit.
