Give the car to me! haha

If it where me I'd rebuild it. You can find good blocks in the junkyards if yours is trash. How did you seize it??

im assuming since i didnt drive it for like 4 months it built up mositure in the block and maybe it had a small head gasket leak that it water got into it and i didnt drain out the oil of the car so itwas all sludgy and with 196k on the clock i guess it decided it was time to die

Pull the plugs to drain water out, change oil and start it. If it get water in the cylinders again Chanel head gaskets and run it... or just spray it! That will loosen it up! Lol
