32 valves, 60deg V8 1100cu/in

60 Starliner 460, 61 Starliner 427, 66 Galaxie 428, 67 Fairlane 427, 66 Fairlane 390, 69 F-250 390, 72 Lincoln 460 and 3 Ford powered Hotboats

crossflow across an actual chamber (no 'chambers in the piston") pretty much defines a hemi.



explain how you can have curved valve faces in a chamber which is what would be needed to make a 4V "hemi". even "traditional" hemi's have flat valve faces and some heads that Chrysler calls "hemi" are actually pentroofed.



I say find a citation for the GAA and add it to the list.

Actually 426 Hemi valves are tuliped and follow the chamber shape pretty well.

Hemi Intake valves

I see the modern hemi pictured in the wiki article uses flat-faced intake valves...
