I bought this filter plate from Canton for $42. It's supposed to flow better than a stock one.

You can also drill 4 more holes in it for oil flow.
Just space them evenly between each hole, make sure you deburr and clean.

Also you can get one at about any junk yard cheap, keep in mind the bolt is fairly large.
About any small block is the same, Felpro makes a gasket to seal it back up cheap.
 
That same oil filter cover plate was used on the 3.3L 3.8L minivan engine from 96-2000... should still be in the parts system..
 
Note that the Canton plate does not come with the connector fitting. This is the one I got for $5.00: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/cwa-53007563ab

You have to watch some of those external hex driven threaded fittings, some of them do not have enough depth/thickness and the sockets have trouble grabbing. There is a thicker one that's easier to deal with or an internal square 3/8" drive one... The wrench/socket does not slip off of those as easily and may save a knuckle or two....
