Freeing a 350 block that sat for 15 years
I have a 350 Block that was rebuilt and had very few miles on it and then it ended up sitting for about 15+ years and is frozen solid. I took the heads off totally and have soaked in Marvel Oil and tapped on the pistons with a board but still wont budge. Any tricks or is it best to just pull it out totally and send it to a shop to be ultrasonically cleaned in a solution that will free it up?

There is an article in our the hotrodders.com wiki about freeing a stuck engine. not sure if you have looked at it or not but just in case you haven't

We recently had the same problem and found success by dealing with the cylinders one at a time. After extended soaking with WD40, we pulled the crank out and then gently whacked the cylinders out from the rod side using a piece of wood and a dead blow hammer. By doing it this way, we at least minimized the risks to one cylinder at a time.
Good luck.
