Mechanic Advice/Engine Replacement

I have a 2004 ford ranger xlt 2wd 4.0L with only 31000 miles.

Yesterday all of the sudden it started vibrating violently and the engine Light went on. Took it in for a full diagnostic today and they said the a valve dropped into cylinder 5 and the cheapest route is to get a new/used engine.

Does anyone know of a reasonable source for a rebuilt/used engine or a reasonable mechanic to replace the cylinder head, etc.

The body and the rest of this truck is in mint condition so it's worth getting it fixed. I'm in the East Bay, RI area.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Tim
