My 4.3L OMC engine was in a garage fire. Can I salvage the block, heads, manifolds, or crank does teh heat destroy them. Any thoughts will be greatly appreciated.

I don't see why not but I would take them into a rebuild shop and have them flo scoped to check for cracks and to see if there warped.

Hello Bart,<br />Most of the engine parts can be salvaged with minor repairs. The heads may have to have new valve stem seals. The block will need front and rear seals probably. I don't know hot the engine got but I've used engines that have been through fires before.<br /><br />Good luck
