Default Just bought a broken 350 need tips

Hello all, I just recently purchased a 2003 350 its a very beautiful car and i already love it so much. The only problem is, its not running just yet because the valve seals need to be replaced, normally id say something like this is no problem for me and honestly if i knew where to start i would. but im not entirly sure what i should be doing and how to go about fixing it up. Any video suggestions or tips or just about any info on what i should do would be greatly apreaciated. Please and Thank you. much love to all

Welcome and your question only begs more questions. First, what kind of wrenching skills do you have? Ever tried rebuilding an engine before? Do you have a garage or indoor spot to work on this project as the seasons change? What about tools?

Maybe a few more details about this Z itself would help. Miles? Model type (base, enthusiast, performance, touring or track)? What did the previous owner tell you about it? Usually, worn valve seals would not stop a VQ35DE from running. Without more information, it's unlikely to gain any useful advice on how to repair your recently purchased Z (hoping you didn't pay much).
