Default Coolant plugs for LS6 swap

I started into the swap last night, only worked on it for about 15 minutes, but got to the point where I can unbolt the LS1 intake and pull it off. Anyway look in the box I had just ordered only to find a coolant crossover pipe (LS6 style) with no coolant plugs.

Did some searching and found part number 12562788 for the plugs. Do you think a Chevy dealer would have these in stock? I'd like stop by on my way home from work and pick some up and finish the swap tonight as opposed to waiting for shipping.

I got some ordered, they didn't know what I was talking about on the phone as the part number has changed, so they printed out some parts and I showed them what I needed. Supposed to be in sometime this week.

Mind posting those "new" part numbers for the coolant plugs?

If you've got a welder, you can make your own plugs/crossover tube. Some have used the stock LS1 tube and just sanded the ribs off the bottom of the intake, along with flattening the tube a bit, to make it fit.
