a "hemi" is nothing special but a badge. all hondas are "hemi" as are most every single car on the road.

Compared to that, Hondas and other engines have a much flatter design.

its a HEMI, because it was produced in the 60s with a hemi combustion chamber and its a HEMI because its a hemi combustion chamber with OHV. its also a hemi because of what Will said. they aren't quite the same, but the same concept. JAPS DIDNT INVENT IT!
almost all OHC engiens have hemi combustion chambers. but they aren't a hemi!
