Default need explorer head gasket changed

Alright I need some work done on my 95 4.0 explorer. I need the HG and balljoints/control arm changed. Looking for someone that will do it on the side or a shop that is reasonable. If you know of anyone/place please let me know, thanks.

Could either of you guys possibly ask them how much they could do it for? Just because if people don't know you you get ripped a new one most of the time. I got a quote of $1500 already but if it came down to that much I'll just do it myself.

Do you have the parts? Does not matter just curious, also is that the SOHC or pushrod engine? I thinks its the latter but I was not sure on the Explorers. Give me a call tomorrow and I can give you a quote. When are you looking to get this done?

I have the parts (just have to pick up the intake manifold and valve cover gaskets). I actually forgot what engine it is. I know its the 4.0 6 cylinder but I know that everyone asks that and then when they look it up they told me there was only one available in 95. I'll see when I get home. I want to get it done probably beginning of next week because I need it for school coming up.

If it helps, I've got a complete 2000 pushrod 4.0 w/60k for 500$.
You'll spend more on a head gasket if they do it correctly.
