Check with a US supplier , I would have told you to contact Troy at west oaks dodge , but they are out of business , maybe member johncambridge ?
Mopar had them repopped so anyone that is selling them got them from mopar .

the correct gasket for the left manifold for my 71 340 Dart??
What am I missing here? A GASKET costs 160$?
It also functions as a heat shield.

... 71 is a different manifold & may not even use a gasket...
71 a body used the same manifold as 68-70
A bodies always had a heatsheild as a part of the left manifold gasket up to at least 72 , even my dads 72 318 duster had the upswept manifold and had a weat shield/gasket .
Your right..I think in E body...

The new reproductions are nice but just in case the smaller details are important to you they do vary from originals. Here's how; The reproductions have the correct Mopar part number but it is stamped in the wrong direction and is a different font as compared to originals. They lack the McCord stamped number entirely (as all originals had) The Pentastar looks a bit different.
