I need a good reliable stihl 290 to 390 complete engine. Who makes a good one?

I got a 290 that is blown up.
The guy i work for at the pawn shop
Took it in thinking It might be good.
Now it's in a bucket..... in peices.....
I can get it pretty resonable.
But it needs the entire engine
The bearings to piston is shot.
Anyway suggestions needed

I have used several of the NWP ones from Baileys and they seem to go the distance.

Won't get you a crank, but here is a good one. https://www.hlsproparts.com/Stihl-039-MS390-cylinder-kit-p/cp30390.htm
Perhaps you can luck up like I did, and they will go on sale two days after your purchase, for something like $45.

My neighbor is a fan of this engine he has used it twice on saws used on his ranch to remove cedar and stuff and just wore them out. Both are still hardworking. He is a good friend.
