Oh, man, basically everything electrical, emissions, or fuel related. Hoses, wiring, etc, etc. You'll quickly spend a few grand replacing necessary parts from a very minor engine fire.

A fire would be okay if all you need was the shortblock (and even it could be damaged), but anything on the longblock is no good.

depends on duration of the fire... coolant seals are made of rubber! give a engine fire long enough and those suckers are string cheese.
