The whole of the 3.8 litre M97 manifold is plastic - would need to be bonded on.
Hat tip to Danstuff for this suggestion:
Cut away only those parts of the manifold flange that foul the position which the bolts need to be, put a plate over the top of the flange that can take bolts down into the head, compressing the M97 manifold between the plate and the head, holding it in place.
