Are you sure it's seized ?
Did you try to turn it over with the starter only ? Maybe the starter is bad ? Not sure how to un-seize it.. Maybe squirt some oil in the cylinders ? If it is a new motor I can't imagine it being seized very tight.... Just my 2 cts.. Rob.

oh it's seized tight alright.
there was no exhaust on it and moisture went in through the open valves and now there's rust around 2 pistons. i tried even rolling it in 4th and it won't budge

I've heard some rumours about "Marvel Mystery Oil". You squirt it into the cylinder and let it marinate for a few days. Then try bumping it.
