Good luck getting the van running again. I hate it when one of my vehicles won't run.

Brad, if you go with the ford style rubber "unbrella" valve seals you will find they work ALLOT better thanthe brass press in style that Chevy uses.
I have used them in a hi milage 305 and I am getting ready to put them in the crate 350 in the "Beast"
the good thing is while you have the heads off you can undo the valve spring keepers slide the seals down the valve stems and reassemble them.
I had to use compressed air in each cylender to install the ones I replaced........

Bad news, nobody will just do the guide seals. Gonna cost me $500.00 & up to do the heads. Putting the van out to pasture now. Once again, I am done for the year. Brad

Brad, the Ford style valve seals can be installed with out any machine work.
You might have to rent a valve spring compresser tool but thats it.
If you don't mind a puff of oil smoke when you first fire up the engine stick the heads on and run them.
How many miles does this big block have on it?
