Default Broken Baffle inside Valve Cover

Broken Baffle inside Valve Cover-20130916_174041.jpg

This is the part number of the passenger side valve cover that i have. Apparently this casting number does not exist anymore. Does anyone know where i can get these? The baffle inside mine broke and apparently you have to get the whole valve cover to get this piece. I am just looking for the new valve cover part number or if there is one that replaces it. I cannot seem to find anything about this VC.
Thanks in advance.

Or just run it without the baffle. I have mine removed for clearance, no issues.

If you still want to replace, I have had good luck on fleabay. Even picked up a brand new set someone removed from a crate motor.

If you decide to install an aftermarket cover, we do have several valve covers for Gen 3 engines available.

Put in a catch can. I would just convert to the 04+ LS6 valley cover and call it a day. Then your valve covers are just covers and you plug off the PCV nozzles.

I just need it to run right now, ordered a set of valve covers off ebay for 50 bucks. Luckily they are the ones i needed and have baffles. I would do the LS6 valley cover but that i would like to do over the winter.
Im planning on upgrading my heads/valvetrain this winter so i will do it then most likely. Thanks for the input.

Just for the record, I am running the LS6 valley cover and a catch can.
