Tooooo many wrongs here don’t make a right. The following is as I remember it!!!!
54 GMC's used a Buick 6 cyl. engine what was slightly longer (1 ½”) than the Chevy 6 cyl counterpart. Also the GMC's at that time had a pedal start near the accelerator. That pedal bell-cranked on a horizontal shaft adjacent to bolted together engine and block. The Bell housing is definitely different. Even starting in 1956 bell housing were many many-different bell design patterns across the GM lines, each division manufacturing there own engines.
The 1954 GMC engine’s motor mount was straight out in front of the engine block. The dump truck engine’s motor mounts are mountings are either side the engine. With a few parts swapped and some welding You should be able to fit it all together. Sounds like a good time to me.
Good Luck
Fernan
