The mechanic told me that this is the final cost.
6 hrs labor - 270
gasket sets (from Ford) - 220
Transmission - 50
Spark Plugs - 60
PCV - 8
Fuel Filter - 20
10 qts trans fluid - 42
oil change with Mobil 1 - 40
Total - 710
 
I told him to go ahead because I don't know what else to do.
Thanks for your reply

He must have meant Valve Cover Gasket leak - huge difference. The valve cover gasket is leaking oil into the spark plug wells - common problem. The problem is the misfire is caused by a bad COP (which is caused by the oil leak). So you'll need to replace at least one COP if not several to fix the problem.
