New engine, there won't be anything economically salvagable from the old one.

Has the engine seized from loss of oil through the sump hole or has it ingested water? Take the plugs out and try turning it over.

Eddie, could I ask that you add some punctuation in your posts to break up the sentences a bit and thus make for easier reading.
ps, could you also lose the 'txt' talk as well please.

Thanks, DD - BR Moderator.
