for the 4x4 trans you will have to swap the output shaft to make it work with a car driveshaft and then you will need a computer to shift the trans. TCI makes a retro kit for this, I believe it's called the T-COM. I am assuming the blazer was at least a 4.3L or the trans won't even bolt up. Plus, if you are putting a V6 trans behind a V8, the internals won't last long.

is there that much of a difference between the v6 and the v8 tranny.

there are fewer clutch packs for the V6 trans which means less holding power and faster wear on the internals. It will work, but it is not recommended.
