I've been on that forum and read all the stroker combinations. Ford 24# injectors are the recommended kind for 4.5L and 4.6L. Since yours is a 98, you have an integrated fuel pressure regulator, so all you need is the injectors. Also, a bored throttle body and 99' intake would help you out a little.

good call, i have an airraid intake, and throttle body spacer, i'll look into a new tb, do people bore out there stock tb and find a new valve that fits?? or is this more or less buying a complete throttle body???

i like it. he does good machine work and includes a 62mm gasket. hes quick on getting it to you also. i noticed way better throttle response after mine was installed. i have the mid 99 intake and a K&N Cold air and banks headers too though...i wish i would have built a stroker. i just finished rebuilding an engine for mine...was a practice block....never rebuilt an engine before.

That looks like a good TB, but if you're looking to save a little money there's a few on eBay that are significantly cheaper. Here's one that $90 after the core charge compared to the other one at $150 after the core charge http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Jeep-...ht_1920wt_1165 . If the link doesn't work, the item number is 370322497378 and you can just type it into the search and it will bring it up. I'm getting one of those in the near future. The only reason I'm waiting is because I want to do the APN header, 99' intake manifold, and throttle body all in one shot.

i was actually watching your build awhile ago, engine looks great, and of course you got that hot item valve cover. run your engine for awhile, maybe u could pick up a block and slowly build a stroker for fun, swap them and sell the old to make some money back.
