I think it would be tight for the oscar when full grown, but you should be okay for a while if you keep up with water changes.
 
would
5-blood parrots
1-kirin parrot
2-senegal bichrs be better? i can do like 50% biweekly if needed.

would that stock be better if i took out the oscar and added a jack dempsey.

With the oscar, its adult size and food aggression/ waste. With the dempsey, aggression may be a concern when parrots are the tankmates.

Are we talking about a 4' or 5' 120? Imo if it is the 5', I think the oscar will work.

I would definitely not go with an Oscar. The tank dimensions are ok for a dempsey but I would not put them with parrots. My recommendations to include the parrots are severum, blue dempsey, chocolate, flyer, aequidens other than green terrors, astotheros... semi-aggressive types. Obviously not all together in your 4x2.
