Default Swaping Converter

So a friend of mine has a 06 I6 trailblazer with 42xxx miles on it. I have a 07 classic ext cab stock 60 with servos and hd2. My question is..... if i put my converter in the trailblazer and the blazer verter in my truck will it affect the driveability of the blazer?

I would think that is will stall very low and take off would suck. You figure the TB stall will stall about 1000 rpm higher in your truck so how much lower do you think yours will be in the tb?

I would think that since your converter is a "larger" converter, it would have a lower stall RPM and make your buddy's Trailblazer run like a dog. I'm sure it would run and move, just not well.

Thanks guys, I was lookin for a cheap alternative to running a $500 3600 or 3000. I have to replace my pump seal and while i was in there i thought it might be worth it to change the converter. So if my buddy was trading in his tb, would the swap benifit me and/or affect the sale of his? My major concern is having his still be drivable for whoever buys it. I'm trying to be honest haha! I wouldnt want a hunk of junk that i just bought and wouldnt run. But if it will still run ok for someone to drive i want to do the swap!!

it would work fine, but the blazer would be slower then it already is.
