If there are "degrees" of Hemi-ness, then the 426 Hemi wasn't a "true"
one either since the spark plug wasn't quite central and the valve
angles weren't symmetric about the axis of the cylinder, and the last
"true" Hemi was the 1957 392 Hemi.

The modern 5.7 Hemi is "more" of a Hemi than any quad-valve DOHC engine,
though. Quad-valves are pent-roof chambers.
