i would cut the tube and absolutely use slugs plug welded with about 1/8" gap between new and old sections and run the motormount bolt thru the slug just as an extra precaution...
i always reccomend DOM tubing because it is strong and there is no seam to deal with, harder to find but well worth it...
make the slugs to fit as snug as possible and don't assume that they will be the same on both ends...
if the guy welding does not understand slugs and plug weld you may want to keep looking...
