Exhaust Manifold to exhaust pipe gasket

On the "Brown Bomber - 1985 F350 460 carb." There is a missing gasket between the factory exhaust manifold on the drivers side and the exhaust pipe, so it is loud!

Is there a specific part number for that gasket/donut? I have never had to mess with this before so I really don't even know if I am using the right words here. I can post a pic if it helps.

A pic might help.

I know on my 460 that 31512 is the headpipe to muffler gasket (x2) and there's nothing but a ball and socket joint at the cast manifold outlets.
A loose flange on the head pipe draws the flared end of the pipe tight up onto the casting.

You can see that there is no flat gasket face if you look up a replacement manifold on eBay or whatever vendor site you choose.

Jim is exactly right, there are no manifold to pipe gaskets used on the 460s, it is a very tight clamped ball and socket joint. Messing with them is not fun.
