This will cause some of the valves to seize in the cast-iron valve guides.
Are there any bronze valve guides available for the ford flathead???

Solid bronze guides are usually a do it yourself project. You really don't need them in a street engine even if it sits for long periods.
There are several brands of bronze inserts available and are quite easy to install with the proper tools. Much cheaper also.
I prefer the Winona brand.
Another option is to use plain cast iron guides and chrome stem valves.
