Seems to me in your case you could just buy a used pan from a NASCAR team.
They race Sonoma, Watkins Glen, Road America and Montreal.
From what I've been told the low pan isn't an issue when engineered properly. a big piece of the puzzle is properly designed tank that is large enough to eliminate the aeration created when there isn't oil at the pickup.
Remember in a dry sump the oil/air is pulled out of the pan and sent to a remote tank. As long as the tank pickup point provides oil and not an oil/air mix your motor is getting the proper lube it needs.
I'm not saying the pickup location in the pan aren't important. I'm just saying they aren't important from the same perspective as in a wet sump.
At least that is how I understand it. But I'm only an assembler so I'm always open to enlightenment.
