i can't tell you exactly, because i haven't seen the motor. it sound to me as if you're describing a block with frozen pistons (pistons are physically frozen in the block) you're going to without a doubt need a complete overhaul. bring it to a performance engine rebuilding shop (NOT a normal shop). have them look at it. if it is in fact worth the $$ to rebuild, it will need to be hot tanked and magnafluxed to determine if the block is cracked or has any weak spots. aside from that, i can't really tell you much. rebuilding a motor can cost about $2500 depending on how many parts you have, what condition they are in, if they need machining, porting, and how much you want to build it up. a friend of mine has a 468 big block that he has put over 10k into.

good luck.
