This has happened to several guys in the past and I think some were successful in the repair. I don't remember the fix but a search may turn something up. Check the external section as well.

Have a stud welded in place of the missing bolt. Aluminum can be welded. Finding someone willing to do it may not be easy, but it beats replacing the engine or block.
