Where can I get one? For a factory SBC hydraulic roller camshaft. I don't really want to pay 125 for a new whole kit,when i have the lock bars, and spider plate.

There are four on that page.
Napa may be able to get one next day if you have a store near by. Or you could try a dealership ($$$), but chances are they won't have it in stock. Maybe a machine shop would have one.
If you can't wait/find one, clean the threads and bolts with some brake clean. Use some Red Loctite and torque them down. You could also safety wire them, but you'd need a jig to do this easily.
EDIT: You may want to call them to make sure they will fit a roller cam. IIRC roller cams have a smaller bolt circle. Even though Summits site says they will fit many years...wouldn't hurt to check.

I'm guessing you really mean the cam thrust plate? If so there are two different ones used, the difference is the bolt spacing.
GM #10088128 (this has a 3.620" bolt spacing) www.gmpartsdirect.com = $8.31
GM #10168501 (this has a 3.294" bolt spacing) www.gmpartsdirect.com = $8.20
Any reason they can't be reused?
Plenty on cars out there...

My guess is he has a roller ready block that was flat tappet and now is going to install a hydro roller so he needs the plate.

It was a factory roller camshaft block. with a roller cam, when I took it apart I lost the plate.
I bought one off ebay, should I put a thrust bearing in there? like between the plate and cam? I saw them on summit and jegs, but not sure if that's what they are used for.

DO NOT try to use a cam thrust bearing. Those require a special timing set in order to use them and i'm not even sure if they make them for the factory roller stuff. Just order the proper thrust plate using the GM part numbers i listed earlier either from www.gmpartsdirect.com or your local Chevy dealer.
