Hey Kyle,
I jsut reread this and realized no one responded so here goes.  If you
have a Dremel tool then your set.  You are right about just tapering the
intake ports to match the gasket but it won't do any good if the head
isn't ported as well and I wouldn't do that with a Dremel.  The only
really important part is to get the larger throttle body and grind down
the opening to the TB.  It really won't help you without the bigger TB
because the holes on the stock TB are already matched to the intake. 
Good luck!
