pour oil in it and unseize it.
QUOTE
WD-40 and pour some in each spark plug hole. The first time leave it sit for about a week but keep adding the WD-40 every other day. After the week is over take a breaker bar and put it on the crank shaft bolt ( make sure that you turn the way you would tighten the bolt ). Never force it to much. If you can get a large hammer in to tap on the breaker bar. Once you get a little movement work it back and forth. It will eventually turn.

thats a great find, I would just say get a junkyard or used engine and swap it in, generally rebuilding a seized engine isn't worth it, most likely the cylinder walls have massive amounts of scouring if they're not cracked

I'd agree, even if you can get that motor unseized it no-doubt has major wear damage to the metal cylinders and bearings and ...well pretty much everything else.
a Beams would be nice, but better still is pick up a decent stock motor for it for cheap because lots of people like to take it out and swap in the performance motor, and its also the same from a Camry 2.2L. looks pretty nice and not a lot of miles, I sure wouldn't rape this one to build an ST. just so many more nice little things about the GT.
