Can anyone tell me if the 71 cuda 340 unsilenced air cleaner is the same as the 70?

No difference between 70-71 that I'm aware of.

Here is some info with pics on the 1970-71 340 air cleaner. https://nicksgarage.com/aircleaner.htm

Same air cleaner and VERY expensive. I saw 3 at Indy and they all wanted 500 each and they all needed work.

It's basically a dual snorkel with the horns off but 340 only for those years making them pretty rare.

you would figure they'd repop these by now... These were tough to find 20 years ago and pricey never mind now.   Sad how many cars wear the 69 style or some other incorrect unit.

are the 69's  as hard to find as the 70/71?

No: The 68-69 340 air cleaners were also used on 383's and 440's and were reissued by Mopar Performance recently for several years. Easy to find.

I wanted to find one and use it for my convertible for the 4bbl 318 but gave up after researching them.  The cheapest I could find was around 350 for needing a complete tear down and rework.  Most I've seen are drivers in the 500 range and restored ones in the 700 range.  I am going to end up using my spare 72 trap door ac I had laying around from my old 72 satellite I used to have.  It was a 318 with a stock 72 manifold and tq on it and looked great.  Not correct but it will do. 

I have seen some guys modify the big block dual snorkel air cleaners by taking the horns off and ovaling out the holes.  After blasting and refinishing in black crinkle finish they don't look half bad.  The thing is even a decent 70 or 71 BB air cleaner is pretty steep now too but still cheaper than a 340 ac.  If your dead set on it that may be the path to go or keep scouring the parts for sale on facebook and other sites.

I made one out of a taller truck air cleaner. It was hard to roll in the openings and make it look decent.
