Dont go with a dremel. Use a 1/4" die grinder and a compressor if at all possible. Or use an electric die grinder with a speed control. Start with 6" long carbide burrs and do most of the work that way. Then finish with cartridge rolls (sand paper) to get a smooth and consistent finish. Leave the intake ports finished with 80 grit, but polish the exhaust ports. You can get all the necessary tools from mcmaster carr (mcmaster.com).
If I recall, I bought:
1/4" shaft 6" long 3/8" round carbide burr
1/4" shaft 6" long 5/16" flame shape carbide burr
1/4" shaft 6" long to 1/8" cartridge roll arbor
varying cartridge rolls in all shapes and sizes and tapers from 40 grit to 400 grit.
Here's how mine came out. Sadly no pics after milling and cleaning up the heads.

juiced nice job. smart leaving the swirl ramp to keep the mid range for that heavier chevelle.
i cant understand the people on this board saying not to PP your own heads. as long as you don't go crazy and follow the good homeporting pics on this board your fine. this guy did a great job and according to the info on this board at least picked up 15 solid hp. i would be able to add my results but TTP closed down here in jersey so i lost my baseline comparison. maybe ill go to the strip tonight untuned...

Thanks, figured it couldn't hurt since I'm adding the cam and headers. The 66-67 chevelles are about the same weight as the f-bodys I believe. My car says, 3100+ on the title of course thats without oil, water, fuel etc... My 70 cutlass had the weight listed at 3600+
