Hemi motors (Hemiroid motors whistling) are over rated grin Their pistons are heavy, the valve train is not as stable in stock form as the wedge motors are and they are more work and money to build decently work
Be careful of what you ask for twocents


No doubt, if your building a hemi it is generally for a nostalgic appreciation of the motor. Easier way to go fast. What i will say is the hemi will carry a lot more weight on the resale side.
