Fire + SE..... fixable?

I really do not know waht this car needs havent looked under the hood, or bought it yet, I was told "it caught fire on the top of the engine" so I am to assume notheing is majorly damaged wasnt bad enought to hurt the paint anywhere on the front of the car, my question is what is on the top of the engine on an SE? im assuming it would be the emissions things (repairable if cooked?).

if its possible to replace all this stuff, anyone have the stuff?

This happened to my car before I got it. It tooke out the wiring harness, fuel injectors, parts connecting to throttle body, emmisions, oil injection, fuel rail, 5/6 ports , made a mess of everything and locked the engine up. I drove my car to school about 3/4 of the time last fall semester. It took ~ 4 months to get on the road.

chances are that all the wires are going to be cooked and you'd need a new wiring harness. No big deal if you can get another harness and all the melted plastic peices.
