The 1965 Barracuda offered a V8 but the Hemi Under Glass was the rear engine show car.

The term 'hemi' is short for hemispherical combustion chamber. The part of the cylinder head where the intake and exhaust are located is shaped as a dome. Dodge cars and trucks use this in V8 engines and it may be a trade name for them.

Would you like to know more?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemisp...ustion_chamber
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrysler_Hemi_engine
While USAians got V-6 and V-8s, the Oztralians got an inline six:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrysler_Hemi-6_Engine
Quote:
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. Although the Hemi-6 does not contain truly hemispherical combustion chambers, the "Hemi" moniker was used primarily for its marketing cachet based on the reputation of Chrysler's 1950s-1970s (true) Hemi V8 engines.
The Hemi-6 valves are 18 degrees (included angle) along the crankshaft axis opposed valves, with intake valves as large as 1.96". The 6 intake and 6 exhaust valves open toward each other, and into the center of the combustion chamber. In addition, both valves are slightly inclined across the crankshaft axis (similar to a conventional "wedge" chamber). The cylinder head is a non-crossflow design, meaning the 6 intake and 6 exhaust ports are on the same (left, Australian and British passenger's side) of the engine.

I like the little Hemis: - 1952-53 Desoto 276c.i.
- 1953-54 Dodge 241c.i.
Cut down into a slant-four, you'd have a 2-liter engine.

Sorry, but there wasn't an Interesting Aerodynamic headlight thread.
You could have provided an example; like this:
