are the heads of the new HEMI truck motors an actual HEMISPHERICAL combustion chamber? i have my doubts they are, but figured i would ask here. sorry if this is a dumb question, but it would seem shitty if it was just a name they are selling.

 

yes.

hmm i stand corrected.

 

The heads are hemispherical, but the pistons are not. Close enough for marketing hype, but not the exact same style you'd see in an old-school 426 HEMI.

 

IMO, they are more of a two valve-pent roof chamber. But I guess they are close enough to call them Hemi.

 

is it me or does it look like that vet is smiling?

 

It is thinking about the big smoky burnouts it can do.

 

HEMI stands for hemispherical?? I always thought it was an acronym for He Enjoys Male Insertion.

 

I always thought it stood for "hemi"roids due how bad they get thier asses drug. Badump, ching! Thank you, thank you, I'll be here all night folks. Please tip your waitress's!

The above pertains to the new HEMI of course, not the old one.

 

Good, Cause I goat a 341 1956 DeSoto hemi with enough torque to pull down the friggin moon.
