I have another piece to the puzzle that doesn't fit well too. It seems that the Wegner front drive setup that I have won't support an aftermarket dry sump pulley very easily. Wegner no longer makes and sells the kit I have, partially for this reason. Bill Dailey was the one that actually cautioned me to this, and a call to Wegner yesterday confirmed it. With this setup, there isn't room behind the damper and serpentine pulley to add a pulley for the dry sump pump. They (Wegner) would either have to craft up something custom for me, or I would have to replace the front drive I have. It wasn't even clear if I could convert my current setup over to an LS7 style crank given that they don't make this particular kit any more...
So the cost of a dry sump at this point would be dry sump system + front drive system, or new crank shaft + new rods + new front cover + ls7 pump/pan/etc + tank + misc pieces. Either path is
