The studs are both shot on the back of my motor and drilling out is not an option. I was wondering if the engine can be welded to the frame? Can JB Weld + Welding work?

I only have access to the college's welder and they wont let me bring in anything with oil or gas. Maybe if I painted it and made it look new?

Can the potmetal of the engine case be welded onto chromoly frame?

This is pretty much 110%, I may be new to the motorized bike world but am a Diesel mech by trade and can't tell you how many times I've done helicoils in cheap pot metal aluminum parts the newer trucks come with.
