Yep on that engine mount smooth it all out and take out more metal if you have too then MIG or TIG with a blunt tip 1/4 aluminum and blend that in and your all set. I had to take 7/16 off my block web support and 1/8 off a engine mount bolt to make my turbo fit...
That mount is the down force side on the engine so the bottom of it gets the most stress (where it's currently cut). It needs to be strong or it will break and your motor will drop on the cross member center frame and bust the oil pan or jack up all your exhaust manifold piping by bending it when it hits the frame. Also major drive-line issues will happen with the engine in the cock-eyed position.
Just a warning and I'm sure your already all over this issue. Just want to be sure. Ok?
