you may need a whole new top end. you MIGHT be able to salvage the head, maybe, but i bet the valve train is shot. That piston seized for a reason, and it's a good chance that it affected the valves. And that's the BEST CASE scenerio. Depending on what's wrong, it may be cheaper/easier to drop in a new motor.
