What year motor, blazer, and trans? Also if you get an after market converter they can cut it for your needs.

if you have the flat flex plate on there you will need to elongate the tc bolt holes and it will bolt up fine. I run the same set up.

I think the S10/Blazer 4L60E's have less friction plates internally, which means they can handle less power.

They can be built up like any other 4L60E when you inevitably do kill it (might be 6 months or a few years, but it will happen).

I'm just saying this because my stock LQ4 killed 2 stock 4L80E's in it's lifetime and one 14Bolt FF, so it can easily happen to you.

Go ahead and beat it till it dies. I wouldn't waste the time and money with rebuilding it as I did with my factory 4l60e...it didn't last long behind a mild 5.3.
