Why hardened seats? Aren't you going to run stainless valves?

To start with it needed 4 ex seats as they were pounded to nothing because who ever touched these heads years ago only cut a 45 degree seat...all the seats were over .250 wide...they were a mess...so we changed them all to get the valve hight correct.
As far a stainless valves go I've been sitting on these SpeedPro valves since the late 70's and figured if I don't use them now I will never use them so I gave them to Vic...
