Valve cover is too narrow to be a hemi, and looks like a Ford 6 to me! 🤣

 

I agree. It's run of the mill wedge head... ok a rounded wedge. Here's the head...

You can call it a hemi but I sure don't.  Hemi means half.... Sphere is obvious. Half a sphere.

 

 

Even the Nissan 720 engines are more hemi than that. And they are not called hemis...

This is a hemispherical combustion chamber.

You're wrong too. 

2 to 1 that is a Ford wedge head, ford only made one hemi, and it was a V8! Just because you put a sticker on something does not make it so. 🙄

It much better fits the definition of a wedge head. The valves are in the same plane while a hemi has divergent valves and is a cross flow design..

 

 

Right in the link provided...

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.

That's why you have to question everything. Calling it a hemi don't make it a hemi. Even Nissan made a second 510 to trade in on the fame and success of the real PL510 from the late 60s and early 70s. The A10 was no more a 510 than my ass. It was a 510 in name only. They also badged a Sentra as a 200sx even though it was a FWD car.
