Yes, the heads had or have an indentation for the injectors... but Ford engineers gave a very weak explanation at the time why they didn't include it - and reality was that it was purely cost considerations.
I'm all for VVL... I have an Infiniti with VVL (and a supercharger) and it's a airflow monster. This would be a great way to get even more airflow thru the Coyote or Voodoo, along with improving low-end torque and high-end. And it's aftermarket tunable and compatible with superchargers et al. But I think the first thing that could appear is cylinder shut-off for fuel economy purposes. Jaguar just added it to Ford's old V-12, and it's a known technology. The GM guys have a kit that deactivates theirs for extreme users (but for the rest it can get their pigs over 30 MPG on the highway).
