Chrysler developed its first experimental hemi engine for the Republic P-47 Thunderbolt fighter aircraft. The XIV-2220 was an inverted V16 rated at 2,500 hp (1,860 kW). The P-47 was already in production with a Pratt & Whitney radial engine when the XIV-2220 flew successfully in trials in 1945 as a possible upgrade, but the war was winding down and it did not go into production.
The 241 displaces 241.3 cu in (4.0 L; 3,954 cc) and was Plymouth's Poly version of the Dodge's 241 Hemi for 1955. Bore and stroke were the same as for the Dodge engine, at 3 + 7 ⁄ 16 in (3.4375 in) by 3 + 1 ⁄ 4 in (3.25 in), respectively ( 87.3 mm × 82.6 mm).

The Hemi-6 is a pushrod O.H.V. (overhead valve engine), with combustion chambers comprising about 35% of the top of the globe. This creates what is known as a low hemispherical shaped chamber. In this way, the "Hemi" moniker was used for the same kind of marketing cachet as Chrysler's 1950s-1970s Hemi V8 engines.
The Chrysler B and RB engines are a series of big-block V8 gasoline engines introduced in 1958 to replace the Chrysler FirePower (first generation Hemi) engines. The B and RB engines are often referred to as "wedge" engines because they use wedge-shaped combustion chambers; this differentiates them from Chrysler's 426 Hemi big block engines that are typically referred to as "Hemi" or "426 Hemi ...
Intended to deal with the troubles created by the low-production 426, of which only about 9,000 were built from 1966 to 1972), [4] as well as the different architectures of the higher-volume 383 cu in (6.3 L) and 400 cu in (6.6 L) B and 440 cu in (7.2 L) RB V8s, the ball-stud hemi was to be suitable for high-volume manufacture at low cost while ...
An upgrade is available to the 5.7-liter (350 cu in) Chrysler Hemi, a V8 engine, which produces 395 horsepower (295 kW) and 410 pound force-feet (556 N⋅m) of torque. The engine is equipped with Variable Cam Timing (VCT) and a Multi-Displacement System (MDS) which shuts down four of the engine's eight cylinders when operating between 1,000 and ...
