Semi-Hemi= Big Block Chevy
Back in teh 50's and 60's, Chrysler took the design of the Small Block Chevy, and make there own small block motors. Take a look at the head design, as well as the block. Its nearly identical.
Flash foward...Hemi is nearly the exact same dimentions, same design of the block, only difference is chamber design with dual plugs per cyl. They even have 6 bolt mains. There is an article on a GM Powertrain engineer that talks about the very close and identicle items that are almost shared between the 2 engine familes.
God created LS1. Man created Hemi to be like God, but sucked dick on gas milage and emissions. God then created LS2 and the Gen IV family.
