427 FE SOHC, built in '65 was a hemi-head engine. They were sold over the counter at Ford dealerships as crate motors. Originally intended for NASCAR, they did not meet homologation rules and instead they went on to drag racing fame through that time period.

Boss 429 is a semi-hemi. Combustion chamber is only partially hemispherical.

Your professor has good taste.
