The problem I'm seeing here is, it's going to take a lot of time, patients, and effort to get the seized engine unstuck. And your not going to know what you got (good block or bad) until you do get those seized pistons out. If and when you get that far, you might have to have the block bored out as others have mentioned. And that will come at an expense. Not even sure how close you are to a machine shop with that capability. But it'd be aways away for me to find a place that could do that.
How this would all turn out is a crap shoot. You could get really really lucky, spray some WD, and the pistons tap right out. But chances are way more better that they won't come out that easy. About the same relatively high chances that the block will need honed or bored.
For me, it'd come down to your other options. If this was my last option and I had the time, I'd take a chance and go for it. But if I had not exhausted my options in finding another block, I'd probably keep searching. Another factor is, how fast do you want this project to move along?? Because messing with this seized block, is gonna do nothing but slow this project way down. Almost to a stand still until it is un-seized. And that takes time. Time that a lot of people don't have the patience for.

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
