Was there still any water and oil inside the engine and trans/case?
It sounds like you are just re-using the cast iron pieces which I think would be ok as long as they did not get shock cooled. i.e. if they burned and got hot and then cooled off naturally they should be ok but if the fire dept. sprayed water on it while it was hot then I would worry.
Some machine shops clean blocks by baking them hot enough to burn all the oil and sludge off and some do a similar process to stress relieve cast parts for high performance. IIRC the temp for is in the neighborhood of 1000 degrees.
So the real question is how did it cool down? They harden iron by heating it to a certain point and then quenching it. So if anything you may surface hardened castings. Impossible for anyone to say without more info, mainly if it got sprayed with water or not.
