stock head bolts and the factory organic gasket will do you just fine.

Aren't new headbolts kinda pricey?

I didn't think they were torque to yield bolts? I would reuse them on a mild setup.

The 6 bolt head bolts are not TTY, so if the threads look good put some oil on the threads and under the bolt head and fallow the factory torque down method. Or a set of ARP head studs is around $100 new. If you go the ARP route I recommend torquing them to 100ft/lbs with the moly lube. And if you use a composite gasket to put copper spray on it.
