a hemi is a v8. the difference is in the top of the combustion chamber. a hemi head is hemispherical and a regular engine is flat.

Hemi is a combustion chamber design and has nothing to do with it being a V8,10,16 etc.
It is restricted to 2 valves per cylinder which is why it has never really gained any traction in the auto world.
Pent Roof is the combustion chamber design for 4 or 5 valves per cylinder and is the accepted standard.

A hemi is a foreign hair cut. A v8 is a great drink.
