3.8 V6 mustang 4.2 stroker.?

Alright I have a 2002 3.8 liter V6 mustang and my current plans are to stroke it to a 4.2 liter. I know this will not up the horsepower and torque a whole lot, but I am going to work off of the new 4.2 liter when done. Everybody talks about blowing the engine on a 3.8 when they supercharge or turbocharge them. So I will build up the engine to the 4.2 and make it less prone to blowing up before adding power upgrades. My questions is basically, what should I know and take into consideration beofore I begin doing this? I plan on doing all the work myself and I am leaning toward the crank,rods and pistons form an F150, NOT the whole kit because of the prices on some of them. Please no "buy a GT" comments... I wanted the V6, cheaper car, better on gas, and a built V6 can keep right up with the GTs cause I have seen it happen.
