Machine shops/ diesel performance shops in your area. Price will depends on the place. I've heard sometimes as low as 300-400. Nevermind that's for 0-ring.

I don't know about fire ring. I myself would O-ring instead of Fire.

O-Ring is much more reliable than Fire RIng for a daily driver. Unless you are pushing 100PSI+, fire rings aren't necessary. To do it properly, both the block and head need machining.
