The following is just my opinion but the knowledge was gained through experience.
Most cut down oil pans will cause problems due to their shape after cutting.
In the original form the oil pans had a small sump area at the bottom and sloped sides above that area. If you cut off the sump area for clearance
you are left with a V shaped oil pan. The sloped sides make it very easy for the oil to flow away from the pickup under hard acceleration or
cornering.
We have found that the billet Koenig oil pans with the swivel pickup are a much better solution. They actually hold more oil than a stock pan due to
their rectangular shape.
I'm generally not in favor of dry sump systems due to their added weight, complexity, and multiple points of potential failure.
Chet, have u got a supplier who would export the Koenig sump direct to me?
How much is said sump in USA? (i know there's shipping and taxes on top)
