And started the process. I need to go out and get a little rougher grit set of stones for my dremel so I will post more later. This is going to take a while....

The numbers you see are the port plug part # Prefix and Suffix. You'll need to get the basic part # (middle #) to complete it. Your local Ford guy should have it, might be the same "basic #" as the manifold.
I'd try aluminum-oxide sanding drums/ cones or a rotary file/ double-cut bit to rough it out. Just a thought.
