I can only answer half of your question. LT1 and LS1 are completely different.

even then, you could get any generic tube and cut length wise to fit.

LT1's don't have seals, they are just a pipe that slips in. The LS1 uses a tapered fit with an O ring seal and then a lip to seat it, so it won't fit.
Like the others say, just get one for a late SBC. My LT1 dipstick looks just like my TPI dipstick. It's all the same anyways.
