I'd guess a grand, maybe more. The gasket isn't pricey, but getting at it takes a few hours. So it'll mostly be labor you're paying for. It all depends on where you live and who you have to do the repair. Replacing a head gasket is a major repair, even though the gasket itself is relatively inexpensive. Replacing this will also require replacing other gaskets. Labor costs vary greatly from area to area. In my area of the country, using a good independent shop, this repair would run around $500. It would be much higher at a Ford dealership.

How much will a valve job cost on a ford ranger?

It depends on if it is a 4 cylinder or 6 cylinder. If you do the leg work to remove the head(s) and take them to an engine shop it should be no more than $250 per head. I just had my 4 cylinder done for $215. Expect to pay much more if you cannot remove and re-install the head yourself. $65+ an hour for a mechanic to remove and install the heads.

Several factors are involved with the ability to swap these transmissions. Depending on the Ranger year, the bellhousing and clutch systems can be different sizes, as well as the mounts. With the year of the Ranger and the 6 cylinder transmission then you can determine if the switch is possible.
