A Chrysler Hemi engine is one of three different internal combustion engine families from the Chrysler Corporation (or its successor, DaimlerChrysler) that are Hemi engines; in other words, they utilise a hemispherical combustion chamber. A hemispherical cylinder head allows the valves to be inline rather than side-by-side, which gives a straighter, simpler airflow path, allows large valves, and gives greater efficiency. The hemi design places the sparkplug in the center, giving more even ignition. Early Chrysler Hemi engine in 1957 Chrysler 300C.

The advantages of the hemi cylinder head come at the disadvantage of requiring intake and exhaust valve stems that point in different directions, requiring much more complicated rocker arm setups in overhead valve engines. These also increase the space taken up by the cylinder head; Hemi engines are not space-efficient.
The three generations of Chrysler hemi engines included the first (the Chrysler FirePower engine) in the 1950s, the second from the mid 1960s through the mid 1970s, and finally in the early 2000s. The FirePower was Chryslers first V8 engine. ...

WWII
Chrysler developed their first experimental Hemi for use in the P-47 aircraft. This engine, the XP-47H (X for experimental) was a 2500 HP V-16. The project was cancelled at the end of WWII. The Republic P-47 Thunderbolt, or Jug as it was known, was one of the main US Army Air Force (USAAF) fighters of World War II. The P-47 was a big, rugged, overbuilt aircraft that was effective in air combat but proved particularly useful as a fighter-bomber. ...
FirePower - Main article: Chrysler FirePower engine
Using their experience with the hemispherical combustion chamber in aero-engines, Chrysler decided to use this layout in their first OHV V8 in 1951, introducing a 180 hp (134 kW) Hemi V-8 with a displacement of 331 in³ (5.4 L). Starting in 1951, Briggs Cunningham chose to use the Hemi, and in 1953 the Hemi powered Cunningham C5-R won first in his class, and his cars finished as high as third place overall at the 24 hours of Le Mans. Chrysler abandoned the hemispherical concept in 1959 in favor of the wedge-head Chrysler B engine. The FirePower was Chryslers first V8 engine. ...

 Cover of Car Craft magazine, showing second generation Chrysler Hemi engine The hemispherical head design was revived in 1964. These were the first engines to officially use the "Hemi" name, a word Chrysler trademarked. All Chrysler Hemi engines of the 1960s displaced 426 in³ (7.0 L). Although just 11,000 Hemi engines were produced for consumer sale, the engine became legendary, with "Hemi" becoming one of the most familiar automobile-related words in the United States. The 426 Hemi was nicknamed the "elephant engine" at the time, a reference to its far-from-compact dimensions and extraordinary power.

The first 426 Hemi of the 1960s was the NASCAR race engine, introduced in 1964. It earned recognition when it placed first, second, and third in the 1964 Daytona 500 race. This famous engine was sized for NASCAR (which mandated engines under 428 in³/7.0 L) with an oversquare 4.25 in (107.9 mm) bore and 3.75 in (95.2 mm) stroke like the Chrysler RB engine big-block. The engine's success led the series organizers to effectively legislate the racing Hemi off the track. The National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR) is the largest sanctioning body of motorsports in the United States. ...

The 426 Hemi was produced for consumer automobiles from 1965 through 1971, and new crate engines and parts are available today from DaimlerChrysler Corporation. There were many differences between the Hemi and the Wedge-head big-block, including cross-bolting and a different head bolt pattern. The street Hemi version was rated at a very conservative 425 hp (317 kW) with two Carter AFB carburetors. In reality, the engine could produce 450 to 475 hp (336 to 354 kW). 1965 (MCMLXV) was a common year starting on Friday (link goes to calendar). ...

Modern Hemi The modern Hemi is not really a hemi at all - it has a polyspherical combustion chamber similar to that in many other modern engines. A true hemi head was considered in the design phase, but it was rejected and only the perpendicular valve arrangement remains.

6.1 Chrysler is developing another modern Hemi, this time at 6.1 liters to replace the Ram Tough V10. The engine is bored-out to 103 mm (4.1 in), but many other changes were made to allow it to produce 425 hp (317 kW) at 6200 RPM and 420 ft.lbf (569 Nm) at 4800 RPM. The engine block is different, with revised coolant channels and oil jets to cool the pistons. A forged crankshaft, lighter pistons, and strengthened connecting rods add durability. A new cast aluminum intake manifold is tuned for high-RPM power and does not include variable-length technology. Chrysler's Multi-Displacement System is not used.
