A hemi refers to the shape of the cylinders in the car engine. For a car to work it must have an engine. Pistons sit in cylinders. The intake valve opens. A piston goes to the bottom of the cylinder creating a vacuum. It draws in air and gasoline. The intake valve closes. Then the piston compresses the air. Then a spark makes the air and gasoline burn. That pushes the piston down. Then the exhaust valve opens and the piston pushes the exhaust out. Those four steps make the engine work. At the top of the cylinder on a hemi, the cylinder has a hemispheric shape. For years, hemis, produced more power than other engines the same size.
