Mmmmm..... the Canton and Moroso type have a female threaded center bolt, which goes onto the nipple of the standard filter setup, and are sized with a seal diameter that matches the oil filter mount pad on the filter plate. I am not sure you can mount it without the plate.... it at least needs a nipple, and not sure the gasket would match any machined surface on the block. (Edit to add: I just check a 360 block and there is no machined surface for the remote adapter to seal to without the filter plate.)
