Put a 390 engine unit in it? The same one fits the 290, 310, and 390.

the carbs are the same on all those.

I don't know a good Canadian source but Ebay is full of after market engine units. They seem to hold up pretty well.

Here is what 660 is talking about  I think.   http://www.baileysonline.com/Chainsaws/Chainsaw-Parts/Short-Blocks/Shindaiwa/NWP-49mm-Short-Block-Cylinder-for-Stihl-Chainsaws-029-039-MS290-MS310-MS390.axd

Suppose to be bolt in ready to go.

Click on stihl board and look down a few threads where someone used one on a 290 build to 390.
