Default Abs inop

After completing my LS swap into my 94 z28 my rear brakes are not engaging. So I basically on have front brakes even after brakes being bleed (not sure if they done it correctly) new pads new roders and master cylinder. Also E brake for rear not working either. Any suggestions?

Not sure how to answer. You did an engine swap and added a new master. Is there a chance that there is any damage to the brake tubes? Are the brake tubes correct for front/rear? Was there anything done to the ABS unit? For the parking brake, they systems are separate. When you activate the parking brake, is the cable moving? Was it damaged or re-hooked up after the engine was replaced? (just wondering if the transmission was removed or replaced, possibly damaging something in the transmission tunnel)

No rear end work was done or removed. I know for fact I bent the front brake line tubing but no creases. As far as trans tunnel I dont think so because the engine was removed from bottom.

Are you getting good pressure while bleeding at the rear? You could have air trapped in the line.

You had to remove the master and the hard lines when you removed the engine and most likely still have trapped air in the system.

Make sure all of your connections are correct and re-bleed starting from the RR, LR, RF then LF
