It idled upside down until it quit.
 
Hello folks, new here and would like to see what you guys think. I just ended up with a 2013 Impala 3.6 that was in a very light roll over due to icy conditions. the driver left the car idling upside down until the oil ran out and it locked up.
the motor will no longer turn over with starter or breaker bar. of course the obvious answer is its seized up... but how bad? could it be hydro-lock from oil in the cylinders, or the computer shut it down. I just got started diagnosing the problems so any advice would be appreciated, thanks.

i'd just find a good used motor, or a new one or long block, if you can afford it. I highly doubt that you can repair this motor. without spending too much money. Why spend your valuable time on something that is so damaged? My .02 cents.
