I would like to know if anyone knows were I could get some steel intake valve seats. I want to change the bronze seats out for the steel. I have a person experienced in seat replacement to do the job.

I'd call Walt Watson at Competition Engineering in California.
Do a search for Porsche machine shops and find his site. Walt has done a few valve seat replacements for me, back when I was still building 356/912 engines. If it was a smog control damaged (over-heated) 912 head with a crack that encroached under a seat, he'd remove the seat, weld the crack, install a new seat and guide, match the CC of the pair and whatever else the pair needed and they'd come back like new.
I'm sorry.....I got carried away.
You said you have someone to do the work.....but they can't be any better than Walt....and maybe he'd sell to you or refer you to a source for a single seat or a whole set. He's one of the good guys.
Happy Holidays!
