I have a Hemi in my Plymouth (with a Mitsubishi engine).

A Hemi is a engine with a hemispherical head. Typically the valves are opposed to one another instead of side by side.

Hemispherical combustion chamber.

Hemi is an engine much less superior to the B16A which itself is less superior to J2Z, which is better then the LS1.

I don't think so bub

To this day the engines used in virtually all Top Fuel cars and Funny Cars, back to the Keith Black engines, and the JP1 engines that were made by the late Joe Paisano, are all based on the Chrysler 426 Hemi

see story of the hemi, above

The B16A is a Hemi.

edit: although the B18C is a much better engine if you want to go there... but "there is no replacement for displacement."

Never underestimate the power of Mopar.

They do.
Although any engine with a hemispherical combustion chamber is a "Hemi" - which is most modern engines.

Before everyone rushes out to buy a HEMI , they are not the best for all situations....

Sometimes the pentroof design is better
