header question 2.8 vs 3.4

thinking about doing the headers and y pipe sometime in the future. Right now I have a 2.8, but might go with a 3.4 at some point.

I notice that the part numbers on summit are different for the 3.4 headers and the 2.8.

If I plan on going 3.4, should I wait on buying the headers until then, or can I get the 2.8 headers now and use them later with the new engine?

I know there shouldn't be any difference between the two, but yet, I feel I better ask before I start spending money

Re: header question 2.8 vs 3.4

your going to want to buy headers for a 3rd gen f-body 2.8/3.1

the ones made for the 3.4 require modification to fit in a third gen body as they were made for a 4th gen

make sense?
