get an ARP bolt kit and nord lock washers - they will not come undone.
But make sure you use the nord locks properly, not like me, you are meant to have two washers per bolt, i only used one because someone sells a kit with 16 bolts and 16 washers (but you need 32)

No doubt slotting the manifolds & using studs on the bottom has been an outstanding success for everyone that has tried it.

I'd make very sure that the ARP bolts are long enough without washers, never mind when you use twin nordlocks... ally expands more than steel so you need plenty of thread in the head to negate the differential expansion which I fear many have neglected... There is tapping on cleaned heads for about 1.25" thread engagement!
