I agreed with you up until you said, "nothing good about them". They definitely have their benefits.

 

Yea, like huge amounts of stop and go traffic is where I wish I had an auto. Which I ending being in a lot of the time, I travel a lot.. Vegas, Seattle, Portland.. Boy I wish I had a auto then.

 

To some people I guess, not to me. Less reliable, more expensive, more weight, less control, less efficient, worse gas milage... the list goes on

If you have a 8 sec drag car or live in manhattan, thats different but to me their are no benefits what so ever of an automatic.

 

talk on the cell phone and drink a big gulp at the same time lol i drive a lot with my knee

 

so back to my question does any one know what the 360 can come out of... i am on the hunt now for a 360 but i am afraid i can't wait much longer before i start fixing mine...

 

Why are you so dead set on a 5.9? Seems as though money is the main concern and simply fixing the leaks on the existing 5.2 would be the easiest, cheapest, quickest fix.
