Default “Inside” part of road draft tube

Where can I buy the part of a road draft tube that comes up from the block up to the intake manifold? My 53 Merc is running an early Navarro manifold so there’s no road draft setup.
I pulled the manifold today in order to install a PCV setup under the manifold and found that the tube in the lifter valley had previously been removed.
I’ve looked, but can’t seem to find that tube for sale anywhere.
Even if I went with a late model manifold I’d need the tube.
I suppose I could find a freeze plug the correct size to fit the hole in the block and weld a fitting for the PCV line on it but I’d much rather find the tube that should be there to weld a cap on and T a fitting to connect to the PCV valve that’s connected to the underside of the manifold.
Thanks
Norris
