Use a die grinder, and a drum sander. Where you need the extended reach , you can get extended shafts at a larger hardware store. The carbide bits just seem to get clogged up with aluminum, so only use those for corners and tight places. THe sanding drums that come in coarse, med, and fine is what you need.
Look on Ebay for pics of already ported plenums and follow their lead.

I think i could do it. But i would rather send it to one of you guys that have done it before and i would pay for shipping both ways and pay who ever for their work.
