You have hit my area of expertise as I design concrete structures for a living.
I would not suggest the expansion type anchors commonly referred to as red-heads. Everything has to be perfect to ensure a tight fit to uphold the maximum tensions that the chart suggest and have seen many of them pull out or work loose over time. Unless you really know what you are doing, I suggest you use a 2 part epoxy system. You can purchase a stick of standard threaded rod for your application. Follow the epoxy hole size and depth requirements and most importantly blow the hole clean of any dust. You will only need 4 anchors, but you might want to install a few more for peace of mind and to distribute any forces all along the sill plate instead of isolating it.
We purchase all our epoxy systems from Fastenal. They have better tension results over something from a local hardware store.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
