For a street car, 4.1 all the way. Better spool, more torque, and contrary to popular belief, they're not more expensive to build if you're planning on replacing the pistons anyway.
If you're looking for 9s, go with the 109.

4.1 is a great engine. I have gone fast with one and tom-j has been 10.1 with one. I see 9's for him. But to answer your question, I built my 4.1 with a 109 block in the corner. Glad I did.

Looks like someone added some extra bolt holes. Look at the far side, you will see the welded on tabs.
Usually one will add the RJC head clamps to the outer side. Billy T. gnxtc2@aol.com

I don't think the production blocks (3.8 or 4.1) have bridged water passages on the end of the deck. Looks like a stage block to me.

Real curious what block that is exactly? Thinking of going 4.1 myself. Just sold my spare engine & need a project. Either that or an NA block. I have to see what one can take?

Well my block checked out 0.30 over, and i ordered my pistons, rings, and HG. Anyone know the part number for the APR studs for the mains, and where to buy them?
