dual fuel tank selector valve

I have been looking and reading all of the great build threads here there and everywhere.

Of coarse i have a truck with dual tanks and i want to keep my dual tanks with my LS swap.

there have been many people telling how they have kept the dual tanks with in tank pumps by using the Pollak high pressure selector valve. Glock's build of Fred touches on this subject, and he is only one of many. Glock also gives a link to the part he purchased.

Now that i am at the point where i am ready to buy some of the rest of the parts i need to get started on my own swap, as my luck would have it, and as usual. Guess what? the link doesnt work because JC Whitney no longer carries that Part.

I have tried ebay and just a plain ole google search for a place that carries it with no luck.

So my question to the masses is : Does anyone know where to find the Pollak ZX812705U tank selector valve?

OR: is these a new part that succeeds this part? I really dont want to spend the $$ on a stock 87 selector valve only to find out it WILL NOT WORK because it is not rated for the necessary fuel pressure. I am done practicing, i would really love to get this build done right the FIRST time.

clues? opinions? winning lottery numbers? anybody?

For what it's worth, I bought the ACDelco U7000, and it is stamped Pollak and has a sticker rating it at 65psi. I've heard rumblings though, that ACDelco is now shipping their own Chinese manufacture valves instead of the Pollak valves.

My genuine Pollak is working great with my LS swap, and my friend has over 20k miles on his valve with his LS swap.
