Just in general
The 350 TBI is a dime-a-dozen. I went to a junk yard a couple of days ago, and saw about 20 trucks and vans, which had TBI 350 (87 to 95) engines in them. None of the TBI engines I saw where BB 454's. The LS engines get scarfed up somewhat quickly. I saw one of those, and I saw a couple of Vortec 350's too.
454
Kinda a vague question.... Their both good, proven motors. What your looking to do with the motor is the question you need to answer first.
What he said....... ^^^^^^^
the BB does have better power due to the cubes....
BUT , I will say this.... for as anemic as the cam and heads are on a 350 version, the BB ones are worse.... the power band on any factory TBI is pretty lame, but the BB is a total joke... Mutt trips all over itself at about 3800, 4 g's... you could refer to the cam as a pimple stick....
all that said.... if you where gonna optimize a TBI motor with custom fuel tables, good cam spec's and decent flowing heads, the BB would eat the SB for a snack due to the cubes...

My Tbi cummins is pretty sluggish as well.
My hemi durastroke is kinda lame until the quadruple turbos and dual superduperchargers spool too. Then hold onto your buck teeth, cause things get serious in a hurry!
So, paper or plastic?
paper, I'm a rebel!
Automatic or manual?

Automatic so i can double clutch it.
Look into the BBC Vortecs instead of TBI. Those produce some good results.
in general this thread is too general.
The key is whether it has the factory turboencabulator.
