My advise to you is to get to know someone who is a succesful port guy and be his apprentice for a while before you attempt this by yourself. its little more complicated the way the metal has to be cut for best air flow.
i have whitnessed this from my own port guy...
you can hurt performance more then help it if you cut it the wrong way
just my take on it.

''Oh yeah...."it is good to see a neighbor online(Im from Jackson,,,,,)

Anything on the intake side you want a satin finish as it promotes a boundary layer of fuel/air for better flow. Exhaust runners in the heads you want polished. Definitely a port match job but ONLY if you can make the MANIFOLD side the same as or a tad SMALLER than the head side. No lip facing the upstream side ! As your pattern, use the same brand /part number intake gasket as you will be using in the final assembly.
NEVERNEVERNEVER do ANY grinding on an assembled head (in the port matching process ) that you are NOT going to disassemble and CLEAN before re-installation.
