Best Answer

Hemispherical cylinder heads have been used since at least 1901. However, the Chrysler HEMI was released in 1954, with the legendary second generation 426 HEMI released ten years later.

Who make hemi?

The Hemi engine is manufactured by Chrysler Corporation. Jaguar made the first hemi designed engine in 1948. Chrysler designed and made their first in 1951. It was a 331 cubic inch engine developing 180 hp. In 1951 this was an unheard of number. The engine has been improved since then and was created in many different sizes all the way up to a 426 Hemi. Ford also built a hemispherical head engine and called it a Tunnel Port. The addition of 2 spark plug per cylinder allowed Chrysler to overcome emission problems, and reintroduce the 5.7 Liter Hemi you see today.
