Is it worth modifying the valve seats on my TA22 (2T Engine) Celica for use with unleaded petrol?

HI,
I recently found out that I can apparently use unleaded petrol in my TA22 (1973) Celica, but I have to use a fuel additive as well.
I was wondering if it be worth doing one of 3 things?
- Should I have the valve seats modified ? or would that cost too much?
- Should I have the car LPG converted ? (Ive been quoted $1480.00 AU for that)
- Should I discard the old 2T engine and put a newer model in?
Any help would be greatly appreciated! I love my celica too much to get rid of it 
Thanks!
Toby

No, no, no, no, no, no, no....
The 2T will run fine on unleaded, NO additive is ever required. Bloody ULP scare tactics rear their ugly head again....
Don't do any of those things. Fill up with ULP and just drive your Celica.
End of story.

This exact question was asked (and answered) no more than a week ago. When will people learn to search before posting new topics?

Hi Again,
One other question: I suppose the 2T-B (1971) would be fine as well ?
Thanks again!

If it's Japanese, you don't have to worry about lead. End of story.

First of all, thanks for everyone's help. I appreciate it.
But... I thought these forums were created so people could ask questions ? Does it really matter, in the grand scheme of things, if a question is asked more than once ? It's not the same as spamming the forum with useless, non-toyota related babble.
I searched briefly for a similar quesiton but must have worded it wrong because nothing came up.
Thanks again for the help.

It does matter to those of us who have been here for several years and see the same questions pop up every couple of weeks. It really does start to get quite tedious.

ok, I understand. I will try and search for longer before I ask questions.
The pub is always another option 
Cheers!
