Valve seats flat head six 1947
I would like to update my flat head six engine 1947 to a modern engine with gas without lead. I have heard that it is necessary to change the valve seats to more modern ones that resist modern gas with high octane and without lead. I would like to know your opinion on this subject because the original valve seats in my car are built into the block.
Thank you
Thank you

I’ve had many pre 1972 vehicles, no hardened exhaust seats, and haven’t had any issues. Conservative ignition timing, a slightly rich high speed jetting along with no heavy towing and E-10 I haven’t had any problems. Not having vacuum advance doesn’t hurt either.
