Agree with Brent here. There is huge torque at that point so bolt clamping isn't really a great idea for holding things in place and epoxy is worse than a bandaid solution. Take the time to do it right and you won't be pulling the engine at a bad time during driving season.
I helped a guy in our club dial in his FE scatter shield and it was a chore. Once we got it in place, he placed some bushings on the studs and we welded them in place. It was several hours' work, but worth it in the end knowing that was one project we would never have to tackle again.
