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.
haha yeah happened to me the first time.. after i had my heads off didn't even know i broke it.. started the car up.. had 0 oil pressure and it scared the **** out of me... finally figured it out though.. took a week and a half to get it from GM 
broke mine this past Saturday night while changing my intake as well. I heard that crack and I knew exactly what it was I forgot about the sensor Had to wait till this morning to get a new one from GM
