Exhuast side stud nut size the size I need connects the downpipe to the exhuast manifold. The exhuast manifold on new head has good studs coming out it but don't no size and its bolted to the head. So can't just carry it in home depot to try them

And does a gasket go between the two exhuast manifold and downpipe
Yes there's two little circle gaskets between the end of the manifold and the y-pipe. And just pull a nu.off your old manifold and use it to fin the new ones. They're the same thread more then likely.
What is your time line? I might have those exhaust gaskets (down pipe) that came with my gasket set. I run a header so I didn't use them. You can have them.

You'll need to get an o ring for it when you take everything off since there's no actual part number.

Well half way three the head gasket . heads bolted back on. Used new bolts. New head had extra emission stuff mine don't have on my motor I got block off plates on top my exhuast manifold. The one on the new head head metal tube hooked up went to some funky s*** other side the motor. Swaped my block off plates to new exhuast manifold got head on timeing chain kit installed. And cover on oilpump on it. Then noticed my new exhuast manifold that came on the new to me head didn't have the holes drilled and taped for the dam 02 sensor. So now in the morning we gota deal with three broken exhuast stuf that go to the down pipe. And get the rest of motor together. Pistons and cylender walls all look good .

And I takem home or ima have to drive up have him follow me back then bring him home and go back yay me
