Such a misleading question. Lots of engines have and have had a Hemispherical head *design* but unless its a chrysler product you cant really call it a "Hemi".

Chrysler first designed the "Hemi " in '39 for an airplane. It was a V-16.

Hemispherical combustion chambers first appeared in the 1904 Welch touring car

Diamler Benz designed the hemi. Chrysler bought the rights to build it shortly after the Second World War.

PS

The question needs a bit more explanation though. Most dual overhead cam engines are "hemi's" and such engines were around befoe the 1920's. I assumed you meant the pushrod design that we commonly refer to as a "hemi"

ok... the company that originally came up with the design for a hemi or hemi style head. hint* the design never left the drawing board. untill much later in the game when another company had allready made it famous.

hrm... I think your right... after doing some research on it I cant find anything to support it.... someone that I thought new quite a buit about this stuff told me that ford came up with the idea but never went through with it because they didnt think it would work, or be worth anything or whatnot... wich could be, but after researching it I find nothing to support it, so oops
