Those head gaskets look very much like ROL brand. Look very close to stock, but do NOT have a wire inside the fire ring. Look carefully at the blown section to see if there is a round wire inside the folded over section of the fire ring. (the part of the gasket that seals the combustion chambers) With just a mild tune up on these cars a ROL brand head gasket won't take 15psi boost.
Have your heads checked out, do some minor pocket porting, and install them with Felpro 9441pt head gaskets. DO remove the pil pan and clean the missing gasket material off of the oil pump pick-up screen. (not to mention the mounds of RTV certainly stuck there, too, or bearing failure is sure to happen). Maybe search the for sale section for a ported set of irons ready to ship. Good luck.
