World Products - WINDSOR JR. Iron Heads
or similar competitive product. less than 600 bucks each assembled. it would be difficult to get your stockers rebuilt with hardened seats for that.
or junkyard heads. like the explorer 5.0 heads

If I remember right, Number Dummy answered this in a post this summer that starting in 72, cylinder heads were equipped with hardened seats to begin with. I tried to search through the forum for this answer, but didn't have much luck.
