I've got several plastic hulls that are screaming to be powered with .12 size nitro motors.

Being from the old school of 'wooden hulls', I'm looking for suggestions on the type(s) of glues to use that will hold their bond under the vibrations that will be encountered. Plastic to plastic, wood to plastic, etc.

Also, what would be the best method for mounting the engine? I was thinking of installing rails and using either flat plates or an Oct 3" alum mount.

The type of plastic is the same as used by Danvo and BBY (thick ABS). ???
 
Two part epoxy from your LHS is always a good choice. In the high stress areas, I like the 45 minute. Lower areas, 5 minute works fine too.
