various websites have blocks for sale but for cheap, those are hard to find. what exactly do you mean your engine died? did you need help with the repair or are you just looking for a new block?

Ok so i decided to go with the 2.5 ej257 block, im gonna keep everything else stock for right now, because this is a very unseen event which i wasnt planning on. Ok so is this gonna affect my transmission,ecu, etc... cause I really dont wanna throw anymore money into it right now.

can I just put the sti block on the wrx, or do i have to do anything special
if the car is stock, subaru might actually cover it. it won't hurt to ask and when you do ask, use your COMM skills. the way you rub off on the employees there will help your chances. as for a wastegate, subaru dealerships supply those as far as i know.

i'm not sure about the 2.5 ej257 with your car, but i don't think it's a perfect match for your tranny.

*EDIT* i looked into it further and the block specified above would fit your WRX.
