Cat 247b3 fire, anything in the engine/pump salvageable?

Hello - I bought a 247b3 that burned. The entire undercarriage had no damage and the loader arms and all cylinders seem like they were not damaged. Does anyone think anything in the engine or the engine block itself may be salvageable, or should I just take everything else in for scrap? The machine had around 2000 hours one it. Thank You!

    Looks pretty crisp. I don't think I would try to save any of the burn stuff.

    No.

    Off to the scrap yard for the body and everything in it then.

    If you decide to do a rebuild check in the safety section here about viton seals, it may change your mind.
