Jay Brown is now selling these intake adapters for FE Ford engines. They adapt a 351 Cleveland intake to it. So you have more manifold choices, and you can swap intakes or inspect the valley without draining the coolant and disassembling the valve train. They are selling like hotcakes.
Yeah that setup does make some sense for the serious FE guy. The bottom part seals up the engine and leaves the intake dry. So then you can swap intakes in just a few minutes like on a BB Mopar. With the factory setup pulling the intake off is fairly major surgery. You have to pull the rocker shafts and the pushrods and drain the water and so on. Really a big time bother.
