Nothing, and some modified ford 6s have it. But it's all home grown
stuff. There are other factors like cost and effort. An FI intake may
occur later and if you look closely at the pictures of their SEMA engine
you'll note that an FI option is there.

Headers for ford small blocks sixes come with what is called a port
divider. It's a separate piece that one is to weld or epoxy into the head
between 3 and 4. This head simply won't require that piece. It's a simple
addition of material to the casting and won't interfere with existing
headers.
