any gaskets as long as they are a quality gasket. you might also wanna gasket match you headers to them(some grinding involved to give better flow) any kind of bolts will work, as long as they fit. header bolts usually have smaller head diameters to clear the runners

depends on the shape of your ports.. fel-pro 1415 I believe is the exhaust manifold/ header gaskets most use and header bolts can be picked up at a local performace shop if you have one close to you
