you can try.best thing i can tell you is lay the motor down so the plugs are straight up.pour brake fluid (brake fluid eats rust and corotion better than all the fancy stuff on the market)in the cylenders,let set for a day.then use a wood dowl and hammer and tap each piston.then try to turn the motor over,repeat if it dosnt work the first time.
if you do get it free i would have it rebuilt |

Russo,
Give it to me, let me try for you before you dump it. I use to own my own auto shop many years ago.
