CIMTEX SUPER CAMEO: PART 5
When we selected a Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 twin-cam, small-block 350 V-8 engine for our Cimtex Rods Super Cameo, we knew that we would be breaking new ground in the sense that GM never built a “production” automatic-transmission-equipped Corvette ZR1. However, there is record that a couple of Corvette ZR1s were specially equipped with automatic electronic overdrive transmissions for physically challenged Corvette enthusiasts. We don’t know whether it was done by the factory or by the private sector.
Nonetheless, it was our intent to run an automatic transmission behind this awesome powerplant. After all, we wanted our ’56 Super Cameo to be as civilized as possible, yet still be able to handle all the available torque and horsepower that will be the result of this twin Powerdyne (BD11-A) supercharged and intercooled Corvette ZR1 engine. But what type of GM automatic transmission would we actually be using?

REVVIN’ UP AT THE ’07 AUTORAMA
Regardless of our residential location, there seems to be a specific show that we just can’t stand to miss. It’s a show we anticipate all year long, and we can’t imagine a season without attending it. It certainly isn’t the city it is held in that’s alluring; it’s the quality of the cars that show up, and there are always a few surprises, as builders spend millions of dollars competing for the prestige of winning the coveted Ridler Award.

Transform Your Ford F-Series Super Duty with Any Level Lift’s Static Lift
If you’re looking to give your Ford Super Duty the stance, performance, and capability it deserves, Any Level Lift’s Static Lifts have what you need. For 2017–2023 Ford F-250, F-350, and F-450 models, these lifts aren’t just about height; they’re about commanding presence, improved handling, and off-road readiness. With choices between 4.5″ and 5.5″ lifts, these kits are tailored to make your Ford the king of the road—and trail.
Why Lift?
Lifting isn’t just about height. It’s about giving your Super Duty a more aggressive look, better ground clearance, and, let’s be real, the ability to slap on those 37” tires that make any truck look downright menacing. With Any Level Lift’s Static Lift kits, you’re doing more than just elevating your ride—you’re enhancing your truck’s capability and attitude.
Built Tough for a Reason
The Any Level Lift kit isn’t just a bunch of parts slapped together. We’re talking about top-quality components built to handle anything you throw at them. Each piece—from the progressive-rate front springs to the sway bar drop brackets with logo accents—has been designed with durability and performance in mind.
Here’s what you’re getting with the Any Level Lift Base System:
- Progressive-Rate Front Springs: These springs give you improved ride quality over stock, handling bumps and road imperfections like a pro.
- Remote Reservoir Mounts with Logos: Added style and performance, featuring a distinctive Any Level Lift touch.
- Pitman Arm Drop & Track Bar Drop Bracket: These essential components ensure your truck’s steering geometry stays dialed, even with the increased height.
- Steering Stabilizer Drop Bracket: Helps maintain control and stability, even at higher speeds.
- Radius Arm Drop Brackets: Engineered to keep your suspension angles in check, for smooth handling.
- Traction Bars with Frame and Axle Mounts: These keep axle wrap at bay, which is crucial for keeping those big 37” tires planted.
Choose Your Adventure: Cab and Bed Configurations
With options for Crew Cab Short Bed, Crew Cab Long Bed, and Regular Cab Long Bed configurations, this lift kit is tailored to fit your specific setup. And if you’re picky about traction bar style or rear axle preferences, Any Level Lift has you covered with customizable options to make sure you’re getting the lift that suits your build goals.
Shock Package for Superior Handling
A good lift needs good shocks, and the Fox 2.0 Reservoir Shocks are up for the job. These shocks come standard with this kit and are precisely tuned to handle the added height, maintaining that smooth and stable ride whether you’re on or off the pavement.
Powdercoat Options—Make It Yours
For those who demand custom looks, Any Level Lift gives you plenty of powder coat choices. Select from standard colors, or if you’ve got a specific shade in mind, just let them know, and they’ll prep the parts to your exact specifications. Whether you want bold reds, mean blacks, or a completely custom hue from Prismatic Powders, you can make this lift a true reflection of your style.
Built for the Long Haul
Built tough, built smart, and designed to look good, Any Level Lift’s Static Lift kits are made to handle all the abuse you can throw at them. The kit price comes in at $4,400, and considering the quality, precision, and sheer capability, it’s worth every penny for F-250, F-350, and F-450 owners who want to take their truck from great to unbeatable.
Final Take
So, if you’re ready to turn your Ford Super Duty into an absolute beast, the Any Level Lift Static Lift is the upgrade you’ve been waiting for. With quality components, a smooth ride, and the ability to clear big tires, this lift kit takes your Super Duty to a whole new level.
