eh thats a risky situation. if its been seized its probabaly no good anymore, these blocks have a coating on the walls and once thats been ruined theres no recovering from it. assuming you could free it up, a compression test would more than likely reveal unfavorable results.
try finding a used engine to stick in it or like you said put the diesel in it. It can be done, but you may need some specific parts off an SD or SDL to make everything fit right. there's another member here who did one of these conversions already so maybe they would be able to help you with questions.
