Worse combustion chamber design ever? Saveable?

Okay, thank you! I got to look at a pair of those gaskets tonight but I didn't measure them yet, but they felt like they're around .028-.032 thickness. I was too focused on taking some other measurements. They're from the teardown of a 360 out a totaled out 1973 W300. With 14,714 actual miles on the clock. I been taking notes and pictures, there's a lot of stuff worth sharing on this journey...
