Just a curious question about head swapping.

Now, I don't intend on doing this in the near future, but it may happen. Ok, let's say I have a 2.0 Liter block with the original head and 200,000-300,000 miles later, the engine might get tired and I may just want to rebuild the head and swap in a 2.2 liter block. The reason I would want to keep my head is so I can use my original intake and exhaust manifold and wouldn't have to go through any rewiring bullshit with the ECU and what-have-ya. The only difference would be a higher displacement block.

Now that you know where I'm getting at, what headgasket would I have to get? Would I get the headgasket that goes to the 2.2 liter block? Or would I get the headgasket that goes to the head that originally goes on the 2.0 block? The coolant passages would line up, but would be different shapes.
