Engine Seize - All fixed and a little teaser!

Alrighty, a little update. I was flying through getting the old 1600tp up and running with dual kadrons, VintageSpeed exhaust and brand new tinware. I got ready to boot her up and bang, the LHS carb caught on fire. I grabbed the closest thing (which I regret so badly right now) which was a tray of kitty litter to douse the fire. Rookie mistake, right? As the air filters weren't on the carbs yet, the kitty litter went down the carb and into the manifold, therefore into the engine block itself. The engine now seizes (won't go any further either way I turn the engine) on the third cylinder. Too much kitty litter I guess. What is the process to fix this?

I know its a bit late but, with a chop top in SA with a 68 but no engineers certificate is required. But obviously don't take my word for it, go phone regency. Thats what i was told anyway, when i was inquiring.
