My oil return from the drive goes to the cover plate, where the injection pump used to be.  I had read in Tracy’s book that was a good place to return to, so length must not be too big of issue.  There really isn’t a whole lot of flow, and with 3/8 tubing, I wouldn’t expect it to be an issue.

This is just how mine's plumbed as well, and it hasn't been a problem.

Hi, Rusty....My 13b has an aluminum plate covering the old injection pump location. Do I just drill and tap for an NPT fitting in the plate covering the old pump?  You don't by chance have an old picture lying around that shows your plate and/or fitting going into the engine do you?  My return line presently goes to the oil pan, but to drain the oil, I have to first remove the PSRU drain line. It would be better to run it to the oil oil injection location.  Thanks for the info.  Paul Conner
