Dremels work pretty good too! I did my exhausts with air powered metal-eaters, then did the clean-up work and all of the intake ports with sanding rolls in my Dremel. Strangely enough the sanding rolls removed metal better than the carbide burrs I'd bought... go figure!

the pic you saw was probly me. with the rotor shirt. I can't tell you it is easy I have ported heads for along time. So I have my feet wet just remember just blend and use templetes and don't inlarge the port it is already pretty big just blind and polish the port. I was doing the work on that motor because my friend went through the waterjasket so don't go wild.

There are too types of "die grinders".  One is the air compressor one - the other is the electrical one.  I prefer the air one, cause it's lighter and cooler to use.  The electrical one is rather heavy and cumbersome (unless you get the flex extension for it).  The air die grinder is hella cheaper too - under $20, but you do need an air compressor to run it.  Electrical die grinders are easily over $100-$150.  These are all 1/4" collet types which take the industrial standard 1/4" shank carbide bits and grind stones.
Dremels are good for the first time user.  Although the bits are rather expensive, the small size keeps you from causing too much damage from screw-ups.  I guarantee you the bit is going to pop out of the hole and skip all over the side housing...
