I would use the Fel Pro 1215 , it will block the heat crossover port which helps as these cars are rarely driven in extreme cold .
I use a single fiber gasket between the intake pan & the heads on each side to keep oil from seeping up into the intake .

The factory never used gaskets between the manifold & head , if you do use gaskets they will cause leaks , I just usea small amount of copper RTV .

I know Chrysler did not use gaskets there but I do on mine and I drive them quite often and have never had one leak. I‘m actually not a fan of RA and try not to use them if I can avoid it but I’m not in Spain. What I can’t get at my old school auto parts counters here in the Detroit area I’ll order from Summit, Mancini’s, Roseville etc…
