What the modern "hemi" has in common with the older hemispherical chamber'd mopars is the name...a very valuable name, becoming a brand name all of its own. And yes, I know the difference between a wedge head, a ram head, a hemi head, etc. etc. etc. 'twas a DC person who made the statement that the new hemi [which has far more actual horsepower per cube] pays homage to the older generation but is not a descendent.

I can remember a few hemi's up around Grand Junction, Moab, etc. that displayed the legendary performance. All were in dealer hands and never did see one on the streets. Most of the nutcases tended to run the ram 426 on the street--easier to keep in one piece. Of course one of my ex-cow orkers had a Keith Black 426 ram with B&M hydro and used it to commute between Moab and Green River to work....you could watch the gas guage creep downwards on the highway.
