semi hemi means they half assed the research to make it a full hemi. hemi is hemi, if it isnt a hemisperical chamber its not hemi, and the preffered hemi style is spark plug in the center for the best even displacement of the combustion, and valves on both sides for the best cross flow of in and out. Now there are chevy blocks that are hemi today...but they're only built for top fuel dragsters, I forget the displacement ofthem, but i read a few years back they made them in the 70's, and now they brought them back. anyone got more insight on that info.
