Hello:

Remove the Muffler and Look into the Exhaust Port.
If the Piston has Scratches or Gouges, then the Engine is Trashed and will have to be Replaced.
A New Unit is Usually Cheaper than Buying the Replacement Parts.

Hope this Helps.

SOURCE: Engine seizure

Probably not. You would need to determine which parts were seized up and failing to turn. Whether the camshaft seized before the crankshaft or the rod bearings before the main bearings could limit the damage. But all surfaces should be measured.
If you were to open the motor and remove the timing chain you could manually try to turn the camshafts separate from the crankshaft. If the cams turned and the crank did not, then you could guess that the cams may have survived. Some help, but surfaces should be measured.
The crank being seized would allow further investigation by unbolting the rod caps and trying to turn the crank as each rod cap is loosened. A single rod cap could stop the crank. You would end up grinding or replacing the crankshaft, measure journal clearances with plastic gauge.
So you would be buying the same gaskets, bearings, etc. to do a partial rebuild as doing a better job. The more practical solution is a Salvaged engine for a 14 year old car. A good place to look is Car-parts.com. When you go to this site you will see what I mean.
Your engine is very common. Also, with many Lincolns, older drivers may have low miles and wrecks or other issues which provide good replacement motors. You may be able to get some guarantee.
Rebuilt motors would have a guarantee. With the damage you could have, you would need a "long block". But a complete Salvage engine could come complete with injectors, intake, and other parts ready to go.
