Steven, I am of the have to have heat camp. My solution would be to take the head off, and the oil pan. Remove the piston rods from the crank, and turn the crank as needed / can. From the top, I would use a propane torch to heat the piston heads (not too hot), then remove the flame and soak the heck out of the head with wd-40 and silicone lube (will smoke and may even flash to flame so take appropriate precautions); but the idea is that as the the metal cools the thin penetrating lube will getted sucked down and loosen the bond. Then get the biggest piece of wood block you can fit in the cylinder and place it on top of the piston head, and apply the BFH to the wood. I've managed to bust loose some of the most rusted things you've ever seen using this method. Good luck.
