    We can get them where I work. I personally can't do anything but our sales guys can.

    Call Pams Auto and ask for Chase. He's the sales guy I had look for one for me the other day and he said he found a few of them!

    That I couldn't tell you. I believe the motors from 02-07 were the same? I'm not sure about electronics though. I know whenever I've looked on EBay, they've always been listen as compatible from 02-07.

    02-05 wrx was a 2.0L, 06-14 was the 2.5L so you will need to look for a motor from an 02-05 wrx.
    Also, what exactly blew in your engine? Spun bearing? Cracked piston? Valves? etc.. that will determine if you need a whole longblock or just a short block.
