Default ABS Delete (Any new updates?

I bought the SJM kit about 5 years ago. Never Installed it, but I remember tons of ppl hating it and saying it was near impossible to double flare the stock brake lines etc. Then I remember ppl showing some custom distribution blocks they had made etc. Well I am finally ready to get rid of the abs since the car having a 28" tire on the back makes it undrivable when the abs kicks in during regular braking! What's the newest / easiest way to do it now? I have line lock in the car already. I also have the SJM kit. I'll happily mix and match parts if it makes install easier! Thanks guys. (Current parts I have from SJM and current set up pictured below)

I was trying to find the block I had to delete mine but ran across this first. Seems expensive but it replaces all the hard lines in the chassis.

Ditch the steel lines. Go to the local parts house, get yourself some Nicop line. Easy to bend, flare and looks good too.
Don't be afraid to do lines. If you're new to it, practice some flaring on scrap pieces. It's not hard at all.

The block I had was made by PRB Machining and looked much like the burkhart block except I paid half that and it looked to be machined much nicer. That’s a lot of money for what they are showing there.

I bought the PRB one last year sometime, still havent used it. considered the finishline kit and selling my block, I like how it cleans everything up and keeps it under the master cylinder.

Thought same could be said for making my own lines

It looks like PRB dropped off the planet as I can’t find anything from them now. They also made mustang blocks and all I could find are blocks that look exactly the same sold under the SVE brand on the various mustang sites. But of course being a mustang brand they don’t offer an fbody version. I’m wondering if SVE bought out the rights to the mustang blocks and then PRB closed up shop.

i remember seeing a website that machined a ton of different abs delete manifolds, for like a ton of different vehicles. it may have been prb. they were very fairly priced

Here is one I just did on my autocross car. Haven’t done the front line to the tee yet because the K member still needs to go in.

Here is the SJM set up on my drag car, but this one is a strange master. I do all of my own lines in steel but I have the worlds best flaring tool: master cool. All the lines below the tee are mine, used the factory rear line at the prop. My bender is from imperial 470FH, but I do a lot of the bends by hand too.
