"I just gave one away with 260K on it"

My wife gave away her's to a friend, with about the same mileage on it, and it lasted for quite a while, finally tossing a timing chain not long ago. But, that can be fixed rather easily (I think.)

Maybe, maybe not if the pistons whacked into valves that had stopped being timed when the chain broke.

yup..timing chain goes around 150k (catch it before that...easy fix)..head gaskets between 80k and 120k (add the best gasket sealer for less then $100...it actually lasts longer then the $1600-2000 gasket job!)
