Here's what I did when I needed to do this but they were only straight through cuts. Might need something finer for notching.
Put a concrete blade in a circular saw. Set up a guide on the block to keep a straight line. Make a shallow cut first and then increase the depth of the blade. Might take multiple passes slowly increasing the depth depending on the saw power, etc. Wear glasses and a dust mask. You're not really cutting the block, you're grinding it away so it's actually a pretty easy task.
If the grade around the block is going to cover some thickness of the block you could cut part way through and then hit it with a sledge and it
should snap along your line.
