what better 350 TBI long block or stock LB9 350

I need a new engine in my 91z28 and i need ot know if I should put in a 350 replacement motor from GM rated at 245 horse or get this 350TBI engie that comes in the caprice. which has more power in long block form from the dealer. i am using a slightly modified TPI setup, hotcam, and a pr. of edelbrock heads.

I don't think it matters too much on which block setup you go with since you have your own heads/cam/intake and whatever else already. I doubt there is too much of a difference in block strength.

Just FYI, the LB9 was the 305 cube TPI, the L98 was the 350.
