Motor Seized 1981 380 SLC

Owned for 15 years, purchased with 44k,now has 54k. Driven on a 1000 mi car tour last fall and stored for the winter in my CC car building. When I went to start it this spring it would not turn at all. Battery was weak so I replaced it with a new one. It took several tries before it broke loose and started and there was a significant knock at idle. I pulled both valve covers and didn't find anything out of order. At this point I let it set while I finished another project. Sunday when I tried to start it the motor was seized. Using a socket and breaker bar it would not budge. I was able to turn it in reverse direction for a few degrees but when I try to turn it in the correct rotation it stops 8 degrees from TDC and is SOLID. Anybody have a similar experience and should I pull the motor for investigation or is it time to cut bait and run. Thanks, Bob Smits, College Station, TX
