I drove my '86 240 to around 350,000 miles on what I'm quite sure is the original radiator. Never leaked fluid. Sold the rusty thing for $200.

If you start down that road, you should replace every other part that has ever caused catastrophic failure to people:

Fuel pump relay
Engine
Transmission
Alternator
Fuel pressure regulator
Fuel filter
Both fuel pumps
All valve springs (I guess that fits in Engine)

you get the idea...

You could spend your life savings fixing parts that might break....

That said, if I found a sweet deal on something like that (ie pick and pull for $10), I'd probably get it to have around in case.
