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 - New Hitches For Your Old Tractor - by Chris Pratt. For this article, we are going to make the irrational and unlikely assumption that you purchased an older tractor that is in tip top shape and needs no immediate repairs other than an oil change and a good bath. To the newcomer planning to restore the machine, this means you have everything you need for the moment (something to sit in the shop and just look at for awhile while you read the books). To the newcomer that wants to get out and use the machine for field work, you may have already hit a major roadblock. That is the dreaded "proprietary hitch". With the exception of the
