What did I break here? I was swapping manifolds for an LS6 and I broke this damn thing. What is it? And Whats it gonna cost me to replace it? Its the long cylinder sensor thats got threads on one end into the block if the pic isn't clear.
If anyone knows the PN for this that would be extremely helpful.

That's your oil pressure sending unit. I think they are about $45-$50 at NAPA. Happens to alot of guys the first time they swap manifolds. Just be careful when you set the manifold in next time. That sensor sits less than a 1/2" behind the manifold so if you push it back too far it's gonna break. Now that you know it's there betcha you don't ever break it again.
