Well, not too long ago me and dad bought a complete engine from a Farmall 350. First off, I pulled the manifold off, and found solid flakey rust inside the #3 and #4 exhaust outlet, and first thought was, boy, we are gonna have a problem. I pulled the head and found that I think 1 and 3 cylinders were not stuck, but I think 2 was slightly stuck, but #4 was totally stuck. It had so much rust in the cylinder, due to no exhaust covered and exhaust valve was open, that you couldn't even find the piston without cleaning the best you can all the flakey rust that was on top of the piston. She wasn't going to budge, and I relized that. I pulled the pan and found that the crank was in an akward position because I wanted to remove the crank and drive the pistons and sleeves out of the engine. I looked around, didn't even soak the cylinders, and found my fence post driver, and though, hmm...if this fits in the cylinder, maybe I can get the sleeves to slide just enough to get the rod caps off, and remove the main caps, and remove the crank. Well, I put the driver in #2 cylinder or the deepest cylinder and drove as hard as I could and it did slide the stuck cylinders enough and I removed the crank. Well, I found a 60lb rod that would fit between the rod and cylinder wall from below the piston and drove each out. It got a little tricky with the #4 which was totally stuck, but ended up driving the whole sleeve out. It took about 4 hours to get a complete stuck engine apart, but everything checked out ok and it's in the process of being overhauled with a stroker crank and put in my 1940 Farmall H. If I was you, pull the head and the pan, and find out exactly what your dealing with. If stuck in the cylinders, I would do what I did with my 350 engine. Best of luck to ya!!
