if you have to pay a shop to do it then somewhere around 1,000 or so i believe. its about 9.5 hours of labor to complete the job for both sides.

a grand for head gaskets? 
rpm-mustangs has a kit where you can get whatever gaskets you need. Just head gaskets would be a lil over 200.

couldnt afford an oil change?
a regular oil change cost less than 20 bucks...40ish if you use RP or any other high-end synthetic.
How do you afford gas if you cant afford 20 bucks every 3 months?

Hey man I understand money problems. However, the fact is regular oil changes SAVE YOU MONEY in the long run! $20-$60 every three months is a lot better than the hundreds or even thousands of dollars you will end up spending to repair the engine. That's how I knew you couldn't replace the head gaskets yourself b/c anyone who could, would also know how important it is to change the oil. I'm not trying to flame you, or make you feel bad, or rag on you for not having money. I'm just tellin it like it is.

+1....my 2000 runs like it was brand new from regular maintenance.
Plus I remember you thought your car didn't need tranny fluid. A sure sign that you don't know how to replace your own head gaskets. Again, I'm not trying to rag on you. It's fine that you don't know how to do it yourself. Just understand that you're gonna have to pay if you want the job done right.

for new gaskets and new head bolts and everything roughly 200 bucks
just do it yourself
if you work all day you yourself could probably do it in a weekend with help
