Will a 1998 4L60E transmission fit in a 1996 Chevy truck?

I have a 1996 4x4 chevy K500. I'm looking for a new transmission for it, and it has a 4L60E (early model). Would a 4L60E from a 1998 chevy 4x4 blazer work? I know that the trans from the blazer is the "late" model 4L60E, but will it fit in my 96 that had the "early" model 4L60E? Thanks In Advance

    Well, the difference is the bolt pattern on the tail housing, and the 'late' model 60E has a removable bell housing. To my knowledge, the rest of the trans is the same, and it should plug in and shift as normal; I am not positive on this, yet.

    You will need to swap the tail housings so that you can mount your transfer case.
