Some may scoff, but....
I consider the ebrake just that, an EMERGENCY BRAKE. Given that it's not used 'hard' on a daily basis, I rigged mine when I swapped in a 4th gen LS1 rear on my car.
I had ebrake cables on the new rear end, and the stock cables in my car. I used wire (or cable) clamps to connect the two together - behind where the one cable splits into two. It's up inside the tunnel, so no one can see them unless car is on a lift. The ebrake works great, and it solved the issue without any major expense. I think on my 4th gen rear, I had to cross the cables over the rear to take up some slack.
The wire clamps are available at home depot for a few bucks - they come in stainless steel which I used so they wouldn't rust and I'd be able to adjust if necessary. I ran one end from one direction, the other end from other direction, pulled to tighten and adjust, and then I snugged them down. It's worked great for 2 years now. They look like:
