Can a p-pump survive an engine fire?

I'm looking into possibly buying a 97 that has suffered an electrical fire under the hood on the drivers side. It melted the wiring harness on that side along with some sensors, radiator hose, master cylinder etc... I noticed the Cummins has plastic(?) covers on the side of the engine behind the pump which also look like they are melted/warped. I guess these give access to the lifters maybe?
The seller has all the parts to repair (minus the covers) but I wonder if damage could be done to the inside of the pump. If so, how much is a rebuilt pump?
