240D Piston

Hey Kids!
Spent the day disassembling my '83 240D that had bad blowby and low compression in the no. 4 cylinder.
The piston of said num 4 cylinder is a disaster. 2 bad ring lands. Looked like somebody has been in there before and just slapped new rings on an iffy piston.
Anyway...i need a piston. 500 bucks is alot of money for a new one. I was wondering if anyone might have one for sale. OR, know what the compatability is with other engines. I found a '76 240 in the junk yard and a number of 300D s. Does anyone know of interchangeability between various models for this time period? i'd like to know beforehand before spending a lot of time in a junk yard trying to get a piston out.

Thanks,

Dale
