oil pressure sensor location!!! Help

ok... I just put a another l98 in my car that someone had in there jeep.... (I spun a rod bearing in my orginal l98) and I didnt notice that they had screwed a cap onto the oil pressure fitting untill I was pluging sensors back up after i had EVERYTHING back together.

I have rounded it off trying to get it loose and it looks like my only option is going to be pulling the intake and drilling/taping the hole witch i DO NOT wanna do...

My question is I was trying to figure out if there was any other location I could use to screw the sensor into?
thanks

sweet thanks guys that worked good....
This motor is not looking so good. I had an adapter for the sensor and hooked it up, has good oil pressure but after I changed the oil and took it for a full throttle run it started knocking bad.
