[Roadsters] Driver's Side Motor Mount on Frame

[Gary and Cindy Ault]

I just looked at Alvin Gogoneni's response to the question about U20 lift
points, and I noticed that the driver's side motor mount on the frame has been
notched.  Viewed from above, with the front of the car being "up", the lower
right-hand (inboard) corner of the mount has been cut away.  My '66 1600 had a
similar alteration (made with a torch), as does my '67-1/2 2000.  I always
figured someone screwed up or got lazy when installing a motor.  Is it
necessary 
to have that corner of the motor mount removed to get an engine
back into the 
car?

(The U20 for my '66 is awaiting reinstallation.  While
the motor is out, I had a 
shop paint and detail the underhood area, and I had
them fix the motor mount at 
the same time.  I am beginning to wonder whether
the repair was a mistake, and 
I'd like to figure it out before I have the
motor and trans suspended from a 
chain fall over the car.)

Any thoughts will
be appreciated.  Thanks.
