Maintenance Costs?

In AM, does the aircraft type and engine type get factored into the monthly maintenance costs?

Is it cheaper to operate a standard fleet of a single aircraft/engine type? (ie 10 x 767-300 with GECF6-80A's vs. 5 x 763 with PW4050 and 5 x 763 with GECF6-80A)

Short answer, no. It was always planned and probably should be changed soon.

Is it also correct that the choice of engine on the 767 only has an impact on the fuel burn?

I cannot say for sure, range and speed are normally effected.
