I do not believe it will fit - also, FYI, the 1997 / 1998 Chevy Blazers (to name a few, there are plenty others) ALSO have the 4L60E tranny

some converters from the rest of the GM line WILL fit... IE - the "Mike Mercury" converter, which I believe is from an STR, or SSr or whatever they are, he runs one in his vette, raises the stall a few hundred RPM...apparently there's also one from an S10 or a mini van that works as well... do a search for Mike's post on this...
