Default WTB/WTT: '98-'02 LS1 Oil Bypass Fitting

I'm looking for the oil by-pass fitting from an '98-'02 Camaro LS1 GM p/n:12551595. GM no longer makes this part and is substituting a slightly different (LS2) style (see pics below). I'm putting an LS2 in a 1st Gen. Camaro and need to drill and tap the fitting for an aftermarket oil pressure gauge.

Here's what I can offer:
1. I'm willing to buy one outright...

OR

2. I can send you a brand new LS2 type fitting and a new gasket in trade. I'll pay your shipping and will even send it to you first. The '98-'02 LS1s don't need the old style fitting because no sensors are attached to it and its not tapped. If you were to order one from GM for or your car they would give you the new style.

Thanks for the help!

Just a though.. I believe the LS1 vettes used the same style as the F-body's but theirs came tapped. I think it was metric thread, however you could probably drill it out and retap it. Look into it because it doesnt appear that many people have one they are willing to give up.... TTT for ya btw

Thanks Hazard2K. You are right in that the LS1 Vettes are the same style but are tapped with metric threads. They could work for me but I would need a 1/4" to 1/8" NPT adapter and it would set the pressure "tree" up higher.

Surely there are guys out their with Camaro LS1s on engine stands that are planning to put them back into there cars. Again the Camaro LS1s do not use the bypass fitting for anything.

Thx!
