Probably the most common mistake with (back yard) porting is to just simply 'bore out the ports' to the biggest diameter and this is generally done without paying any attention to where the most gains will be made - the valve bowls. Doing what you sound like you're about to do may actually make your head worse. Whilst I'm not trying to dissuade you from doing your own porting, I suggest you read up a little before you start hacking away with the die grinder and destroy a perfectly good head.
Aftermarket cams are available, mostly from the US. Expect to pay big bucks. You could get yours welded and ground - there are a few mobs here in Melbourne that will do it with plenty of good profiles to choose from (not the standard 4-5 grinds offered by the aftermarket tuners).
