Well I'll be... I would have never thought a motor that looked that "crispy" on the outside would look that good on the inside. Does anything look like it got warped by the heat?

A simple fuel fire wont get that hot...now..if this was in a pile of burning rubble, it would be different.
Other than the edges of the motor, it likely never got over operating temperature.

Well, actually the manifold and cam covers are fine, too.
Here's the inside of one of the cam covers.
Nothing warped, but several aluminum ingots left over form the hood.

Another really cool project, Kev. Congrats on another great acquisition.
I have no doubt that you'll have that engine looking like new again in no time.
Looking forward to following along...

The alternator cooling hose is down about as low as you can get, heat rises.
As Jim said. And, that updraft draws cool air from below. Thus, the cooling hose is pretty much unaffected. just sitting there in a warm breeze flowing up and getting much hotter in the intake area..
