With the mileage and the carb fire, especialy looking at those last pictures, a rebuild seems like the best route.
At least the damage from the fire was minimal. With a magnesium engine and transmission case things easily could have been a lot worse. At the fire training center I attended years back they demonstrated a magnesium fire. The heat was so intense water would have no effect on it.
I always keep a good fire extinguisher in my '73.5
