The reason that I run mine the long way around on my 31 tudor was to keep away from the exhaust pipe and manifold, It would get pretty close trying to go up the back of the engine. I figured it was already pretty tight in the terminal box. My tudor is a late 31 with the accessory dual guage panel that mounts to the steering column bracket. it was pretty easy for me to route the oil line around the front of the engine and back and through the felt pad, up the steering column to the guage panel. Here is a pic of mine.
