So it doesn't have a dry sump setup but does have a separate oil tank.
Similar to a fuel surge tank or swirl pot?
Oil pump feed from the tank but I can't see how to do it without a second low pressure pump from the sump.
Does your engine have an external oil pump, I know the Crossflow can use an oil pump with external connections

IMHO it would not have any dry sumping benefits and anti-cavitation, by its name is only to take air bubbles out of the oil.
No bad thing, in theory, but entirely necessary?
Makes for expensive oil changing I guess, how big is the tank?
