Could my El Camino handle a 383 stroker?

Posted on May 31st, 2010 by admin

I have a ’78 El Camino with a pretty much stock ’73 350 2bbl, and I really want more oomph but don’t have a ton of money. It has a 7.5 10-bolt rear end with 2.73 gears and stock th350 trans. I always find very good deals on built small blocks on craiglist, and it gets very tempting. I’m looking for a 383 stroker with about 425hp and 450 torque.

I know with a hooking full power launch, a built 383 stroker would kill my trans and rear end. But I’ve got an open differential and street tires, it would definitely spin ‘em.

that engine would wake it up and work fine in your el camino but like you say I wouldn’t pull too many hole shots with that rear end until you can afford a 8.5" 10 bolt for it and then when you do that go with a set of 3.55 or 3.73 gears in it and you will be rockin.

Help with Schengen Visa: Spain and Switzerland in 4 months?

Posted on May 31st, 2010 by admin

Hello!
I am having trouble figuring out the whole Schengen Visa situation, and I’m trying to figure out if I can make a certain plan I have in mind work.

I’m planning to take a job in Switzerland from Sept-Dec. It falls fully within the 90 days of the Schengen Visa.

However, my brother and I also want to hike the Camino de Santiago through Spain in August and September, which would take 33 days. Ideally, I would just fly to Geneva after we finish so I could start my job on time.

Taken together, those 2 trips add up to more than the allotted 90 days.

Is there a way I can make this work? Should I apply for a temporary work Visa in Switzerland, even though I’ll only be there for 3 months, to cover the extra time I’ll be there? Should I just ignore it and pay the fine when I fly back to the states?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You are making wrong assumptions.

A common Schengen visa only authorizes the stay in the Schengen zone as tourist or for business for up to 90 days in a six months period. Business is defined as attending conferences, trying to get new business contacts, promoting your company at trade fairs, or similar. It does not authorize gainful occupation in a Schengen country.

If you plan to take a job in Switzerland you will need to hold a work permit issued by the Swiss authorities and the appropriate visa.

You may visit Spain before since a type D visa authorizes the stay in other Schengen countries for up to 90 days. You need to state that in your Swiss work visa application and also need to provide the appropriate documentation for the prior stay in Spain, otherwise the Swiss authorities will only issue a visa corresponding to the start day of your working contract..

Ignoring immigration laws will just lead to the fact that you cannot travel to that country any more. If you ignore Swiss immigration laws it will automatically lead to a ban in 29 other European countries..

Would you watch a TV show where I drive across the country in my 1974 El Camino and catch bad guys?

Posted on May 31st, 2010 by admin

Cheaters, deadbeat dads, crooked politicians? People would hire my services through ads in their hometown Pennysaver. In between towns, I’d go to church, work out, eat meatball heros and listen to my 8-track tapes.

Just wondering if this would be a show that you’d watch.

Oh, yes, I would definitely watch that show. I love those kind of offbeat shows with eccentric characters. It’s got everything going for it – adventure, travel, a tough, hero-type with rugged good looks who dares to be different and isn’t afraid stray from the norm, catching all kinds of bad guys and ne’er-do-wells. Plus, there would be all kinds of assorted characters, settings, and situations each episode. Will this be airing in September?

Almost there -Lyrics & translation (Latin Spanish) Llegaré

Posted on May 30th, 2010 by admin

CD SOUNDTRACK VERSION
“Ya llégaré” en español latino (Spanish)
Singer/Cantante: Paula Arias Esquivel

© Disney *The princess and the frog
La Princesa y el Sapo

LETRA / LYRICS:
Mamá, no tengo tiempo para bailes.
Eso ya lo haré después.
No me voy a desperdiciar
Eso no me va.
Esta lenta realidad
y lo fácil que se nos da…
Mas yo sé de hecho a donde voy
me acerco poco a poco más y más

Y ya llegaré, ya llegaré,
piensan aquí que estoy loca
y yo lo sé.
Y es que mi camino
difícil es, pero nada a mí
me detendrá porque ya llegaré.

Alguien dijo que los cuentos
pueden ser realidad
Pero al fin de ti depende
si así sucederá
Hay que trabajar duro cada vez
y lo demás vendrá después
y dando lo que doy
abran paso, allí voy.

Y ya llegaré, ya llegaré,
todos querrán visitarnos ya,
pero llegaré, ya llegaré.

Hay dificultades siempre
en todos es igual
pero en la montaña llegaré a la cima
y ya llegaré, ya llegaré.
¡Ya llegaré!
