If you "boil" out yours or replace with a used one you run the very possible risk of doing it all again soon. A heater core that old just HAS to have some corrosion of its tubes. How thin those walls are is anyone's guess, but....

My son's leaked a tiny bit - the rad shop said not to even think about trying to repair it. A new 4-Seasons from FCP ($95, 2 years ago), MANY hours of work, and it's blowing hot, dry, (and quiet with the new motor) and should for another 25 yrs.
