need for intake base and runners are aluminum cut carbide burrs on
long shanks and sanding paper rolls (2nd pic). It's best to use large
diameter tools and rolls where you can, because grinding will be more
even without holes in the runners. You can also use only sanding rolls,
but it will take much more time. Depends on how much you want to port.

Here you go! On first pic are most of my porting tools, but what you'll
need for intake base and runners are aluminum cut carbide burrs on
long shanks and sanding paper rolls (2nd pic). It's best to use large

even without holes in the runners. You can also use only sanding rolls,

Sorry to get off topic. Your engine looks great. Any idea what the HP/TQ numbers will at the wheels? I would be interested in seeing your dyno graph when your done.
