DIY Brake Lines In order to swap the LSX engine into my car, I am going to have to move the ABS unit to a different location, in order for it to clear the headers.
I am just trying to gather anyone's past experience on this subject.
I need to extend the lines accordingly. What's the best way of doing this?
Getting a flaring tool, and some fittings to attach the new lines onto the where the old lines were cut?

Yep that would be a suitable option. Or you could just get some line, ends, a flaring tool, and bend a complete new set of lines for the entire car. That is what I would do, it is easier for me that way because my car is a DD and the lines rust out every 3-5 years anyway.

I would run new lines rather than splicing old ones.
If you have some extra money lying around you could go all AN fittings. Much better if you ever have to open the lines again.
