Where to buy 1pc rear main seal housing??

I am building up my shortblock and realized it didnt come with the rear main seal housing so i stripped the old L98 rear main housing off and will use it for this block i guess

However i had a guy wanting to buy my old L98 shortblock setup and would like to have a rear main seal housing/rear crank cover for that block. I have looked everywhere including GM parts direct and they no longer have it listed

GM part number is 14088557. Does a LT1 cover work from 93-97? I would think not but i know LT1's are similar to sbc gen I motors, and GM still sells that part 14088556 i think it is

Any ideas??? I cant find them anywhere

Drive down to your local chevy dealer and if he doesn't have one on the shelf, he can order one. It's probably changed part number and the old number is discontinued.

thanks, thats what i was thinking, they must have changed the part number, but even searching the site thru the online catalog i found nothing. I will go check out the chevy dealer but i hope they dont charge an arm and a leg
