Manifold, is this normal?

Working on my '97 E150, 5.4 engine. Just putting the cover back on when I noticed this. Right rear of the engine.


Why does this look as if something is missing?

I’ve been on FTE for about five years and I’ve seen some new person ask this question about twice a year.

Its a hole to nowhere. My 2007 e350 V10 has it. And about a dozen other people I’ve seen here on FTE.

Its nothing.
