Brake lines for LT with LS calipers

Without bending the brakets in my LT, which brake lines would be needed? I installed LS knuckles, rotors and calipers. I also have the LS brake lines but they are too short. Are the Corvette brake lines longer? Is there a brake line conversion kit in the market place?

Corvette C5 brake lines are longer. Use them instead of LS1 brake lines. You shouldn't need to bend anything.

Thanks, I found one site, LMPerformance.com, that offers the front lines. The lines are from J&M Products.
