Is it all cyinders? Are the big end bearings spun white metal or are they shells? If they are shells, I would remove them and try to just crack the rust holding the pistons, bearing in mind you don"t want to move them more than the thickness of the shells or you may damage the crank! If you can get them moving, even ever so slightly, you are more than halfway there. When free always clean very carefully above the piston to remove as much crud as possible. Remove the easiest first and that will help when the last one needs a lot of persuasion to move it.
Moving/cracking the rust - anything from minimum required for easy jobs up to a sledge hammer on a carefully fitted end-grain hard-wood block for the difficult ones.
This is, of course, after any soaking, heating, or other persuasion techniques employed. Remember, as you are at the moment, all the pistons are holding the others via the crankshaft and that is not good. May even need to remove engine and remove the crank. Just depends on condition it"s in. They are all different.
Hope this helps.
Regards, RAB
