You have been looking for work for months and months.

Now take my step sister who just moved here, first full day was Monday the 9th.
By Wed the 11th she has two jobs. That being said this is how I feel about your situation.
I don't think you are truly trying that hard to find work. If I needed a job I would work anywhere, taco bell, Mc. D's, etc.
Land a job to help pay bills while still looking for your career. Joe, you are a great guy but lack motivation and tend to make dumb decisions.

Also you can't expect work to find you, you need to hit the pavement. You say you have but you need to annoy the **** out of them.

i do look for jobs jeremy. the market sucks ***** up here. I HAD A JOB INTERVIEW ON TUESDAY but i couldnt go cuz of my stupid car. i probly would have a job if it wasnt for that. im not waiting for work to find me, except in the fishing case cuz i cant very well physically go to ak and pound the docks. i have applied to alot of places jeremy. but im only marketable in one area and thats mariner type ****. i dont have even the smallest bit of experiance in any other trade. if you look at 95% of job listings, they all require experiance. i have never had a "normal job" i have been in the navy and caught salmon thats it nothin else ever. i cant even write a reseme that targets anything besides bein on the water. when i apply for a job i do bug them i meet with managers, write letters to companys. and jeremy, its not even worth my time to apply for minumum wage jobs and i will not take one. do you know why? because i can go to college full time and make more money than i will working minimum wage. sp why would i want a minimum wage job?

I understand about you going to school. I thought you said you were not going back to school and were going to get a job. I just want you to succeed and not end up being a homeless person...etc.

You guys should start up a separate thread on this topic because every time I look at the Oregon Guys section I want to drive my car off a cliff

Yep I agree

So what do you guys think?
Should I use my 317, 853, or sell them and buy some 5.3 or LS6.
I need to get the compression up to about 11.1:1 for my set up.

If you want to go with LS6 heads I can get brand new factory GM LS6 heads for $200 a piece bare, then regrind and set tip heights on the valves out of your 317's, throw on whatever springs you might want, and boom. You have heads. Under the average price of a rebuild on 853's!

Well then it's a no brainer. GO BACK TO SCHOOL and get a part time job at Taco Hell. I was under the impression you were done with school and didn't have any other options left to you. You say you missed an interview because of no car? Did you at least call and tell them you just wrecked your car and would like to re-schedule?

For your resume's, you need to flip the script on the wording to make it sound like you have the skills they are looking for. If you have to organize chum buckets on a fish boat, then you have great organizational skills. If you have to prioritize those chum buckets, you're awesome at prioritizing your work load. See what I'm talking about? These are just examples, I have no idea how a commercial fish boat operates. A resume is just a bragging session about yourself to get you an interview. You can talk about the details in the interview but you still have to sell yourself as "the ****"....

Another thing to keep in mind, is that when an employer lists an ad for help, they are looking for the ideal candidate. 90% of the time they will never find someone that fills everything they need/want. They will almost always have to compromise in some way or another. Don't let the ad fool you into thinking that you shouldn't apply. You just need to tailor your resume to fit the things they are looking for, within reason of course.

Kinda like when you and Joe were going at each other huh? Or did you forget about that? We're trying to help out a fellow Fbody brother. If that bugs you maybe you shouldn't read it. Just sayin...

C'mon, if it were you guys we'd be trying to help you out if you were in a pinch or needed advice. Last time I looked this thread didn't really have a "topic" to stay on track with......

Sell them both, niether of those are going to work great for a NA car on the jug. You can pick up used 5.3's for dirt (100/pair?) and if you're planning to port them yourself they're perfect for learning on. They basically have a very similar port design as the LS6 heads, but the smaller combustion chamber will bump compression, which is good for a NA car. I got close to 300cfm out of a set of 5.3's I ported back in 2005. You will need to regrind for larger intake valves though, the 5.3's come with 1.94 intakes I believe. Maybe Charlie can chime in and give an estimate on regrind?

You're right about helping someone out and that this thread doesn't really have a topic, we know he's in a pinch. Just some times it just gets repetitive. No offense Joe..lol I just hope it works out for you and it will.

Yeah the 5.3 heads are like 150 on eBay so I'll just go with that. Thanks!
Hey Charlie what kind of a quote can you give me?

So got the Camaro though emissions yesterday...on it's 5th try. A set of O2 sensors finally did the trick. It kept failing idle HCs put passed with flying colors on everything else.

Tried charging the AC system and discovered the compressor leaks... joy. Also have a random leak on the back of the motor. Doesn't seem to be the intake (I just had the intake off). Maybe the backs of the valve covers? Can't see where it's coming from. I've got fresh oil on both sides.
