REBUILD

hey guys im new to the forum but iv been working on cars for sometime now. I have a 81 350 carb it is seized. having trouble unsiezing the piston. any suggestions. also once it is unsiezed im looking to try to keep the engine as stock as possible. i want to upgrade the cam to something meaner. then i have new valve covers. what else could i upgrade with out having to change to much. i have stock heads. What heads would i be able to get that would take everything stock the camaro is a 87.

Welcome aboard thirdgen.org.

Any idea why the engine is seized? Is it just one piston, or the crank that is seized?
