In 1983, the only difference between GMC and Chevy that I am aware 
of is the grill and badging.  A 350 Chevy and GMC engine should be 
exactly the same.

Can't comment on how the new engine would bolt up to the old transmission.
My dad had a 79 GMC 4 x 4 with a 350 and a TH400 transmission, 
so the combination is possible.
