Brake problems after V8 swap

I finished doing a LT1 swap in my 1994 Camaro. I used a 94 LT1 auto. Engine seems to be working fine but I don't apppear to have any brakes. I bleeded the brakes thinking it was air in the lines but still no luck. I haven't had the car out for a spin yet until I get the brakes fixed. My ABS light is on also. The ABS sensors are hooked up and not losing any fluid. When I had the tire off the brakes appeared to be working. Any suggestions?? I also installed a hotcam in the LT1 but only a mild cam for that engine so there should be lots of vacuum.

Re: Brake problems after V8 swap

sure you have the break booster vaume line installed? Sounds stupid but with a major job as an engine swap from a v6 to v8 stupid lil things like that will stop you dead in your tracks. Just want to make sure you do have the vacume hooked up to the break booster since you didn't mentioned you have. Also make sure you don't have any solid break lins pinched or kinked. I'm assuming you droped the engine from the bottom so that would require disconnecting breaks lines from the abs moduel, I blieve but I'm not 100% sure on that since I"v never personaly taken out an engine on a 4th gen f-body. Just go over all the breaks line and make sure there is nothing kinked or damaged.

The car may need bleeding at the dealer.
