Headers question

I'm wanting to make my car loud so I was planning on getting headers. I've got a 305 right now and am in the process of building a 383. The 383 is a 98 vortec block. I was wondering if headers will bolt up to the 305 as well as the 383 to keep from having to buy a new pair when I do the engine swap.

I don't have to worry about emissions and don't have to worry about noise either. I want it to be loud. Will it be safe for the motor for me to run straight headers?
