Rebuild the engine. Even if it is frozen you can get it apart. What has probably happened is that a piston can't go up and down anymore because of rust in the cylinder. Pull the head, clean out as much of the mess as you can, lube it well with tranny fluid etc and see if it will break loose. If not then remove the crank and the pistons that will move. Then with a long wooden stick and a hammer drive out the piston. You'll no doubt need to bore the engine anyway so new pistons will be in order.

My Turbo Z has a cracked head. I'll be swapping the valves and cam to another head and rebuilding the original engine. In my case even though there's rust in two of the cylinders I think I can hone it out with out boring the engine. If not then I'll bore it and replace the pistons etc.
