I have seen the kind of setup you are talking about a time or two. It was some kind of option.
To make it like any other small block simply remove the two 1/4-20 bolts that hold the oil filter adapter (the "thingy") onto the block. ( You'll have to take the two lines loose from it first) Replace that with the regular oil filter adapter from any small block that uses the spin on filter, you can get one from a junk yard or buy new from a dealer or Summit. Then you're in business.
If you weren't loaded you may be ok, especially if it didn't get hot or anything else. Also depends somewhat on what kind of oil you were running.
If it were my truck I would do the above and put on a new filter, put in more oil and see how it's doing. If there's no obvious knocking then run it a week or so and then take the filter off and look at the top of it for metal bits. If none then I wouldn't worry about it.
