exactly! I would be more upset with the machine shop, and make them fix it, and then re-check everything for square!

if THEY broke the ears off, then THEY need to fix it, and adding that much heat to the block, you might distort cylinder bores or something, so THEY should check everything to make sure it hasn't moved


but, bottom line, yes it can be fixed and use your stock motor mounts. I saw bob george's work fixing some blocks for his customers, and holy crap! I used to think a window in the side of the block meant it was junk, but not anymore!
