{{main|Hemispherical combustion chamber}}
A [[hemispherical combustion chamber]] is an efficient shape, with an excellent surface-to-volume ratio, minimal heat loss to the [[cylinder head]], and room for two large [[poppet valve|valves]]. However, it allows no more than two valves per cylinder, and these large valves are necessarily heavier than in a [[multi-valve]] engine. The intake and exhaust valves lie on opposite sides of the chamber and necessitate a "[[Crossflow cylinder head|cross-flow]]" head design. Since the combustion chamber is a partial hemisphere, a flat-topped piston would yield too low a [[compression ratio]] unless a very long stroke is used, so to attain the desired compression ratio the piston crown is domed to protrude into the head at top dead center. The result is a combustion chamber in the shape of the space between where the domed piston stops and the dome shape in the head receiving it.▼
 
The main advantage of a hemi head engine over other head designs is power. In return, hemi head engines tend to have complex valve trains, are expensive to build, and both larger and heavier than conventional designs.
The hemi-head design places the [[spark plug]] at or near the center of the chamber to promote a strong flame front. However, if the hemi-head hemisphere is of equal diameter to the piston, there is minimal [[Squish (piston engine)|squish]] for proper turbulence to mix fuel and air thoroughly. Thus, hemi-heads, because of their lack of squish, are more sensitive to fuel [[octane rating]]; a given compression ratio will require a higher octane rating to avoid pre-[[detonation]] in a hemi engine than in some conventional engine designs such as the wedge and bathtub.▼

The hemi head always has intake and exhaust valve stems that point in different directions, requiring a large, wide cylinder head and complex [[rocker arm]] geometry in both [[cam-in-block]] and [[single overhead cam]] engines (dual overhead cam engines may not have rocker arms). This adds to the overall width of the engine, limiting the vehicles in which it can be installed.

===World War II===
==First generation: FirePower 1951–1958== <!-- Other articles link here. -->▼
Chrysler developed theirits first experimental hemi engine for the [[Republic Aviation Company|Republic]] [[P-47 Thunderbolt]] fighter aircraft. The [[Chrysler IV-2220|XIV-2220]] was an inverted [[V16 engine|V16]] rated at {{convert|2500|hp|kW|-1|abbr=on}}. The P-47 was already in production with a [[Pratt & Whitney]] [[radial engine]] when the XIV-2220 flew successfully in trials in 1945 as a possible upgrade, but the war was winding down and it did not go into production. However, the exercise gave Chrysler engineers valuable research and development experience with two-valve hemi combustion chamber dynamics and parameters.
 
In addition to the aircraft engine, Chrysler and [[Continental Motors Company|Continental]] worked together to develop the air-cooled [[Continental AV1790|AV-1790-5B]] V12 Hemi engine used in the [[M47 Patton]] tank.

Chrysler applied their military experience with the hemispherical combustion chamber to theirits first automobile engine, an [[Overhead valve engine|overhead-valve]] [[V8 engine]], released under the name '''FirePower''', not "Hemi," in 1950 for the 1951 model year. The first version of the FirePower engine had a displacement of {{convert|331|cuin|L|1|abbr=on}} and produced {{convert|180|bhp|kW|1|abbr=on}}. Eventually, three of the four Chrysler divisions had their own version of the FirePower engine, with different displacements and designations, and having almost no parts in common. This lack of commonality was due in part to the three engine versions using different bore pitches (the center-to-center distance between adjacent cylinders). Chrysler and [[Imperial Imperial_(automobile)#First_generation_(1955–1956):_A_separate_make|Imperial]] called their versions the ''FirePower''. [[DeSoto (automobile)|DeSoto]] called theirs the ''FireDome''. Dodge had a smaller version, known as the ''Red Ram''. Only [[Plymouth (automobile)|Plymouth]] did not have a version, but retained the Dodge [[Polyspheric|poly-head engines]]. There was no Plymouth Hemi engine until the 1964 [[426 Hemi|426]].▼

[[Briggs Cunningham]] used the Chrysler version in some of his [[race car]]s for international motorsports. A Chrysler-powered [[B. S. Cunningham Company#C-5R|Cunningham C-5R]] won its class in 1953. Cunningham switched away from these designs in 1959 when Chrysler temporarily abandoned the hemispherical concept in favor of the wedge-head [[Chrysler B engine|B engine]] until 1964. [[Carl Kiekhaefer]] also used the Chrysler engines in NASCAR cars owned by him from 1955 and 1956, winning the [[NASCAR Cup Series|Grand National Series]] championship both years.

==== 345 ====
The largest DeSoto engine for 1957 was the DeSoto Adventurer offering {{convert|344.6|cuin|L|1|abbr=on}} with square bore and stroke dimensions of 3.80 inches. The DeSoto Adventurer used dual Carter WCFB four-barrel carburetors for a rating of {{convert|345|bhp|kW|0|abbr=on}}, producing one horsepower per cubic inch (the first American car to do so as standard equipment) utilizingusing a similar intake manifold to the 1956 341 Adventurer and a similar camshaft. The compression ratio remained at 9.5:1.

Dodge released a {{convert|325|cuin|L|1|abbr=on}} engine for 1957. The "Super Red Ram" engine used a {{convert|3+11/16|in|mm in|sigfig=3|abbr=on}} bore and {{convert|3.80|in|mm|1|abbr=on}} stroke. The base engine offering was now a polyspheric chambered head referenced as 'KDS', and a higher performance 325 was offered with hemi heads as the 'KD-500'. Again there was a low volume offering of a 'KD-500-1' with dual four-barrel carburetors. All engines now, however, had hydraulic camshafts even though the hemi headed offerings sported "dimples" in the valve covers for mechanical adjuster clearance.

The 426 Hemi of the 1960s was an engine produced for use in [[NASCAR]], as raced in a [[Plymouth Belvedere]] in 1964. It was not initially available to the general buying public. The 426 Hemi was not allowed to compete in NASCAR's 1965 season due to its unavailability in production vehicles sold to the general public and because of complaints by Ford regarding its power. However several special production versions of the [[Dodge Dart]], the [[Plymouth Fury]], and later, in 1965, the [[Dodge Coronet]], were produced with aluminum [[Fender (vehicle)|fenders]] and [[Bumper (car)|bumpers]] for [[drag racing]] and made available to the general public.
 
Chrysler introduced the "Street" Hemi" in 1966 for its intermediate range of cars and sold the required number of Hemi engines to the public to [[homologation|homologate]] its use for stock car racing in NASCAR events in 1966. The "Street Hemi" was similar to the race Hemi but with dual inline 4four-bblbarrel [[Carter Carburetor|Carter AFB carburetor]]s{{clarification needed|reason=What did the race 426 have?|date=May carburetors2024}} (with automatic choke), lower compression (10.25:1 from 12.5:1) and lower-lift [[camshaft]], with iron exhaust manifolds instead of lighter steel long tube headers.{{citation needed|date=September 2018}}
 
There were many differences between the Hemi and the 426 Wedge-head big-block, including main [[cross-bolted bearing|cross-bolted main bearing caps]]{{which|Which capsengine was cross-bolted?|date=May 2024}} and a different head bolt pattern. Although all manufacturers were familiar with [[multi-valve]] engines and [[hemispherical combustion chamber]]s, adding more valves per [[Cylindercylinder (engine)|cylinder]] and designing the complex [[valvetrain]] they require were expensive ways of improving the high–[[Revolutions per minute|revolutions per minute]] (rpm)]] breathing of [[production vehicle]]s. By canting the angle of the NASCAR-mandated two valves per cylinder, significantly larger valves could be used. The Chrysler 426 Hemi and all Chrysler [[Chrysler RB engine|RB]]s had [[oversquare]] bore and strokes., Specifically,both the 426 Hemi and [[Chrysler RB engine#426 Wedge|426 Wedge]] hadhaving a [[Bore (engine)|bore]] × [[Stroke (engine)|stroke]] of {{convert|4+1/4x3+3/4|in|mm|1|abbr=on}}.
 
The 426 Hemi, in "streetStreet Hemi" form, was produced for consumer automobiles from 1966 through 1971. Hemi-powered Dodge and Plymouth cars produced in the model years of 1966 through 1971 have become collector's items. For example, a 1971 Plymouth Barracuda Convertible equipped with the 426 Hemi engine sold at auction for US$3.5 million in 2014.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5tQm8HBB2Y| archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211028/W5tQm8HBB2Y| archive-date=2021-10-28|title=MECUM SOLD $3.5 Million - 1971 Plymouth Hemi Cuda Convertible|last=Mecum Auctions|date=June 14, 2014|via=YouTube}}{{cbignore}}</ref>

There were many differences between the racing Hemis and the street Hemi, including but not limited to [[compression ratio]], camshaft, [[intake manifold]], [[exhaust manifold]]. Some 1960s NASCAR and NHRA Hemi engines featured magnesium [[Ram-air intake|cross-ram intake manifolds]] and magnesium [[oil pan]]s in an attempt to reduce the massive weight of the overall engine, along with chain-driven internal [[dry sump]] [[Motor oil|oil systems]].

The 426 Hemi also was used in [[NHRA]] and AHRA drag racing. Its large [[casting]] allowed the engine to be overbored and stroked to [[Engine displacement|displacements]] unattainable in the other engines of the day. Top-fuel racing organizers limited the bore spacing of engines until very recently,{{whencn|date=AprilMay 20212024}} when under pressure from Ford and other manufacturers, the bore spacing allowed was increased to {{convert|4.90|in|mm|1|abbr=on}}—this allows other engines such as the [[Ford 385 engine|Ford 385]] series to begin to compete. The engines based on the old Chrysler design predominate Top Fuel and [[Funny Car]] classes due to plentiful parts, a large amount of research and development, as well as decades of experience with the problems of the engine's design. In drag racing today, it is usually equipped with a large [[Roots type supercharger]] and short individual [[exhaust pipe]]s, and fueled with [[nitromethane]]. Yet, this variant is used in Top Fuel, Funny Car, and Pro Modified classes.
