pw101,
In order to take the FAA ATPL written exam, you need to complete an ATP-CTP course like the example linked below. And yes, it's an expensive slap in the face for a person of your experience but there's no way around it.
You can get the ATP and type rating in one checkride. You'd want to select the type you currently fly. The KMIA area is a hotbed of organizations doing such training. Good luck, you've got your work cut out for you.
