quick question and im totally serous. why do dodge guys continue to call their motors hemi's after the block has been altered and the rotating assm is totally different?

It's a 0.020" over 5.7 block with a 6.1 steel crank thats offset ground to a honda journal size to a stroke of 3.795. The top end is ported 6.1 heads and a 6.1 intake. It's the same displacement as a 6.1 at 370 CI but it's done with stroke instead of bore like the6.1 is.
On the Hemi thing the original Hemi was the first gen 331, 354, 392 so you could make the same argument why they call a 426 a hemi since it wasn't the first gen of hemis. I guess thats what mopar named it. If they want to market it as a hemi then thats what we'll call it.
GM made a new engine and called it an LT1.

stew, hemi has to do with induction.
no matter what i do to my motor, it's still a modular motor.
truck runs good, still got some catchin' up to do to the mod motors, tho!
goals and challenges are what makes it worth it!

Why you call it a HEMI

LT1 bored and stroked to 383 is still an LT1
I have a 454 Mark IV Big Block bored and stroked to 497ci but it is still a "Big Block"
Hemi (from "hemisphere") or "crossflow cylinder head" is a design of internal-combustion engines in which the cylinder head's combustion chamber is of hemispherical form. The term, "Hemi engine" is a trademark of Chrysler Corporation, though the concept is used by many manufacturers.
I have a SRT8 300C w/6.1 "HEMI"; 370ci still a "HEMI"
From 331 to 540 No matter the cubic inch a "HEMI" is a "HEMI" and thats why we call it a "HEMI"!

The LS1 stroked to a 383 is still an LS1. It is now a stroked LS1.
LT1 bored and stroked to 383 is still an LT1
