Default dry sump oil system

I am looking at the possibility of using a dry sump oiling system on my elcamino when I do the engine swap. Why? from what I have gathered on the engine swap a 1980 elcamino and an lt1 engine will have problems where the oil pan and cross member sit ( on the non corvette lt1's), mainly that they both want to occupy the same space. so I either have to find a corvette lt1, get a custom pan, or box the frame. I don't want to box the frame, and a custom oil pan would be an option but I would need a production one that is made for this swap not a totally one off piece, and the vette lt1 is more money and harder to find. so I thought that if I can get rid of the oil pan clearence by swapping to dry sump then that will open up all the other lt1's.

aside from moroso, what are some good companies for reliability on a dry sump kit?
