To state again, when I pump the brakes the pedal gets quite hard, wait a minute and it soft.
The fact it's going soft says to me there's air in those lines. I went with 'speed bleeders' when I did my brake conversion (Wilwood 4 piston front, GM rear) and I'm convinced they're the way to go. Bleeding is never a 'fun' task, but using them took the real hassle out of doing it so much I'm also planning to install them on our daily drivers.
