The trouble with this really rare prototype stuff I suppose, is that they're so rare you just can't find a worthy use for them....

Not hard to CNC an outer block, the cores for the coolant gallery are always the challenge however which means you either get a straight bore through the metal without hugging the critical areas where you need the coolant to be the most, or you cast a block and then machine it to shape.

There are nice examples of clever design and expensive machines however...
