Thank you.
So the H designates 340 that year?
What letter for 383 that year?
What other engines were available in a Road Runner that year?

There is a lot of repetition of the same common 'errors' and misunderstandings in that link. It could use some proofreading and fact checking for accuracy and clarification.
A more complete reference of options and pricing may be the actual factory books from 1971 in the Hamtramck Historical library.
The 1970 Hamtramck Registry - 1971 Plymouth Dealership Data Book - Cover & Intro
and
The 1970 Hamtramck Registry - 1971 Plymouth Salesman's Pocket Guide
plus
The 1970 Hamtramck Registry Library Page (1970 - 1974)

Thanks a million to all you guy, wish I had that kind of money.
This car is rough, engine and trans missing. Low option car from glance, hardly even a parts car. It’s at the salvage yard and they got it late Friday so it’s not inventoried yet. I’ll see it Tuesday, post pictures and price if pass on it.

I was not endorsing that link in anyway, rather pointing out at most of the information needed to make a decision is already online many times over.
A picture of the fender tag would help us help you. Maybe the tag is still in place, maybe not.
Also, there is this thread:

I use Old Cars Price Guide as a basis for value.
