are there sections where it is completely level?

I guess with it being so long it may allow the level section to drain... but I really am not sure.

actually kinda reminds me of the stock volvo oil lines. All hardlines and they are pretty long.

looks like it'll work. Your manifold seems extremely close to the IC.

i'd only be concerned about that last level looking section at the bottom, i guess the weight of all the oil above should push it and under acceleration it should have a pretty easy time going backwards into the oil pan

why not just take it between two of the runners so you can keep it angled?

i'd go for the long return, gravity is your friend.
