Im going to build up a 250 I6 for my 54 chevy truck and I picked up a TBI from a 1993 Chevy Suburban for the 250 I6. Will this work well or am I going to run into some probles? Or does all TBI's work with either 8 or 6 cylenders?

It should work just fine. You'll need an adapter. Maybe an aftermarket 4 bbl carb intake manifold will work. You'll probably have to just try it and see, since I think the oxygen sensor you'll have to install on your exhaust should be able to adjust for the fuel needs. Interesting idea.

you might use a throttle body from a 4.3 V6

if I get a TBI from a v6 will I need the computer from that car too? HOT ROD DAD has a good point I think with the O2 sensor adjusting the fuel for it. ????
