I have one of those.  When I started to work on it I discovered that the 
engine was frozen and wouldn't turn.  I tried several different things 
but couldn't rotate it.  So I pulled the head off and discovered water 
on top of the pistons.  The car was complete- had the hood, carbs, air 
cleaner on it, so no stray raindrops got in there.  So there is more to 
the story that they aren't telling.  As of now I don't know if I need to 
have my block bored and get new pistons if those are even available, or 
look for a new short block.
