Subject: thoughts on a dry sump system

I'd like to put a dry sump on my A14, mostly so I could lower it several centimeters. (It's not in a Datsun.) I can do it by moving the engine back (which I'm going to do at some point, because that also helps the car's handling) but I already have a modified mid-sump B210 pan on it, and the bottom of the pan is at the same height as a frame cross-member, so dropping it more means the pan takes the damage if there's a debris encounter. Hence, I'd like to put a flat pan on it.
What I'm thinking about is not using a traditional multi-stage mechanical oil pump, but instead using several electric fuel pumps as scavenge pumps, because I can mount them anywhere, and then using a single pump (either external mechanical, or possibly by plumbing the sump the scavenge pumps feed into through a hole in the side of the oil pan into the pickup for the stock oil pump) to do the job the stock oil pump does now.
Thoughts on whether this is dumb or smart or interesting or viable?
