Just an opinion, but, use a diegrinder and do a smooth cut on the motor mount to allow clearance. Paint the bare metal. If the headers have nothing other than paint on them, you can dimple the area A LITTLE.

Set the timing at 4 - 12 degrees BTDC to start. ( 4 BTDC is my personal choice just in case )

Plugs are a fit and try item for me. Check with the book and go from there.

Just a thought.

There's a small chance you could use up some bolt clearance, loosen the motor mount and force it away from the header as you re-tighten it.
