    I ask this 'cause the Spark Plugs appear to go thru the valve covers.

    No. A true Hemi has 2 valves per cylinder and a dome-shaped combustion
    chamber. The v6 engines (3.5, 3.2, 2.7) with 4 valves per cylinder are
    technically "pent roof" combustion chambers with intersecting flat
    planar surfaces, not true Hemi heads.

    As far as I know, yes. Pent-roof chambers are really only an advantage
    when you have 4 valves.
