I cam across a freebie 914 engine that is siezed. Apparently, they took the manifold off one of the heads, and let rain get in there and it siezed the engine. At least that is what it looks like. I haven't torn it down yet. Are there any words of wisdom about rebuilding a seized engine?

Well, it done. Me and my Dad unseized the engine. It was seized at the pistons. One was sort of hard to get off, and one was very hard to get off. It doesn't look like the water made it past into the case, but I haven't split it yet...
