      I used to work next door to Quest Racing in Worcester, MA.
      They had a hand full of these billet blocks from CN. They were 526 Chevy engine running in there IHRA Pro Mod it went 6.27@225 mph

      I don't think they can be run on the street cause the ones I've seen had no cooling passages.

      CN blocks do have cooling passages. When you order them you can opt for increased cooling for applications such as boats. The splayed cap clocks are good for over 2000hp and the cross bolt blocks are good for over 3500hp. They are awsome pieces and the SBC's only weight 86lbs if i remember correctly. THey can make up to a 10.25" tall deck and even a 4.5" bore spacing if you want a REALLY huge small block.
