A hemi engine differs from a "normal" engine in that the hemi has hemispherical combustion chambers, whereas most other V8 engines just have a wedge style combustion chamber. The hemispherical combustion chamber is somewhat more efficient at making power in that the flame propagates from the spark plug, which is usually in the exact center of the chamber, in all directions, rather than mostly in one direction in a wedge style chamber.
