    It is to accommodate the Hurricane engine.

    Or any engine, like a Hemi!

    Our gen engines, due to their head design, do not qualify as hemispherical (Hemi).

    Not like the original, but still not a flat piston or head.

    Yeah, go ahead, drink up!

    The modern HEMI is just a more complicated and efficient design that evolved from the engine that preceded it. It has far more in common with the 426 HEMI than with wedge engine designs (spark plugs through the valve covers, two large opposing valves, domed pistons). The combustion chambers are hemispherical, although more complicated than the Gen 1/2 HEMIs.

    The reason most don't consider the Gen 3 a true HEMI is the combustion chamber shape. The HEMIs from 51 to 71 have a combustion chamber that looks like half a tennis ball, which is where they got "Hemispherical Head" or "Hemi Head." Our cylinder heads while retaining some of the shape is not a true Hemispherical combustion chamber. However, the Gen 3 head is much more efficient than the original HEMI. Its shape is flattened out a bit more and we have an "open" combustion chamber that is a cross between a pent-roof and hemishperical shape, but we still have the dual rocker shafts and opposed valve layout...that to me is the hallmark of the HEMI head layout. The opposed valves and their ports make for an efficient layout.


    If you look at the original HEMI design, it had only one spar plug at the top of the hemispherical head. With the Gen 3 heads, 2 spark plugs are present and in order to accommodate the second spark plug- the hemispherical design had to be modified slightly resulting in the semi-hemispherical chamber.

    Fake news is right. I don't know who made this video, or why, but it is tripe. It talks about the Mustang, but sometimes it shows the regular gas Mustang, and sometimes it shows the Mustang Mach-E. Huh??? Then it talks about “naturally aspirated” engines while showing a picture of the Hellcat motor with supercharger. That’s just in the first 3 minutes. I didn’t have enough time left in my life to waste a half hour watching the whole thing. So I don’t believe one f**kin word of anything that was said in that video.

    Yes, still hemispherical, and a lot like the 426 with modern engineering.
