What options do I have to get an oil supply for a turbo on an LA 318?
I seem to recall an adapter that went between the oil filter and block with tapped fittings, but not sure if it is available for small block Dodge.
Sorry if this question has been asked before, but I've googled it several times and come up with nothing...........
Thanks.

Sounds good to me, that's what I'll do.  Lastly, I guess the turbo I would be sourcing needs to have a carbon seal in it for a draw-through setup. I'd like to keep it all Mopar, is there anything Chrysler made that fits the description? Not real picky on size or anything, it's just going on an un-suspecting '84 318 in a $300.00 truck.  Would be nice to have tons of off-idle bottom-end torque though.....

I'd take it off the back of the block by the distributor, where the oil pressure sender is. NPT tee-fitting between the block and your gauge or pressure sensor and an 1/8th npt to -4an adapter fitting.
Here is a mock up picture of mine with twins.

Mine comes right off the back just like that too...except I used cheap brake line lol. Also if you mount the turbo high enough you can put a fitting in the fuel pump block-off plate and won't have to tap the pan (assuming your running an electric pump)
Yep. You can add your own fitting or use something like this, there are a couple companies that make them. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/MOR-65398/
