You will need a spacer to correct the converter spacing.

I recommend using a correct "300 mm" LS 4L60E.....V6 (298 mm) 4L60E's have valve body calibrations not suited to V8's.

If you insist on running a V6 trans....Check the 2nd piston number....Do Not run a 554 2nd piston, Use a 553 or a 95-1 with a V8.

Re: 68 c10 step side

Depends, when you say 2000 Blazer, do you mean full size or S-10?

Re: 68 c10 step side

Did they still make full size blazers then? I thought those stopped somewhere in like 95, when the trucks got the updated body styles and they took away the 2dr full size blazer.

You can get the flexplate, bolts & spacer from GM quite cheap http://www.gmpartsdirect.com/results...umber=12621399

You will need to slot the torque converter bolt holes on the flexplate to fit your torque converter.
