hardened valve seats and inserts 1929 super six engine

I have recently restored a 1929 essex coupe and am building another engine for the car. Should I put hardened valve seats an inserts in the new engine? 
I also have lots of extra parts if anyone is interested you could could email me at hwa1942@gmail.com for a list of what I have.
Thanks
Wayne

    No need for hardened seats if the originals are still serviceable.   Just use a lead substitute during the break-in period.

    Possibly you could mention the extra parts you have available.  I assume these are engine parts?  Also, whereabouts are you located?
