Here's a guy that wants to sell a 54 Dodge truck 241 semi hemi. He's in Wi. I copy/pasted his letter from the 39-47 Dodge truck forum. I did install a 1959 318 into a 59 truck that came with a L6 once. The L6 is longer than the V8 so I had to move the rear cross member forward to catch the rear of the engine mounts.
Here's his letter...wish I was closer.

I have recently picked up a 1954 Dodge Pickup truck.. This was a very
complete, non-molested truck that is in need of refurbishing. This
engine looks to be in really nice shape. There is a 6 volt battery in
it. I think the previous owner tried to get it running
unsuccessfully. The engine turns over Very easily by hand. (for me
anyway.. I am big fella) The only rust on the engine is the exhaust
manifolds. Everything else has a nice light coating of oil, and my
guess is there isn't any rust underneath it. I cleaned off the
sticker on the air cleaner, and it is perfect!
Anyway, I am selling the complete drivetrain minus the rear end, as I
most likely will use that. This is a 241 V8, but it isn't a Hemi. I
don't know anything of the engine's internal condition other than it
does turn over by hand. This will include the engine complete from
oil bath air cleaner to oil pan, remote oil filter, transmission,
shifting linkage, and driveshaft. I have not taken it apart at all,
and I will not be doing so. I am looking for $550.00 For all of this,
and you will not find a better start, and I am including everything to
help you get it all together for your truck. This is all so far I
will be selling from this truck. It is located in Ripon, WI, and I
can help you load it up in your truck, as I have an engine hoist.
Would be interested in trades. I need a push button big block trans.
Prefer a good one, but I will take a core for a partial trade. I
also have a powerflite and a torqueflite available. Both pre 62 cast
iron units
