Hey 4.2 Turbo

i'm new here.. and not overly a ford fan.. well trucks but i like some, anyways i bought a 97 with a messed motor... anyways going for rebuild and maybe shave the heads on it... but can you turbo it? and what should you run for safe boost, where can i get a turbo kit etc.... i know on some 4 cyls like the J Body's, that safe is 8 psi... what would be considered safe for this application?
