Default #*!@$ wrong torque converter

The guy rebuilding my 4L60E just told me that the TC he bought (supposedly the Trailblazer I6 converter) doesn't fit. The bolt pattern is off by about a half-inch. Does that just sound like they sent the wrong part? He told me his parts supplier knew which TC I was talking about when I said I wanted the TB I6 one. Crap! Does anyone know the part # for the correct converter?

Much appreciated!

Hey, Billy...what's up?

Yeah, I got it back last night and my rebuilder did a great job! I don't know if you saw the article in Car Craft a little while back where they rebuilt a 4L60 to the specs of a 4L65. Anyway, my rebuild was very similar (5-pinion planetary, Beast sun shell, Corvette servo, etc.) with the Trail Blazer torque convertor.

I'm taking kind of easy right now but I'm looking forward to letting the hammer drop in a few days!

Later!
