Depending on the time, say 1-2 years, and real investment numbers, a $3000-$5000 return on $50,000 is actually pretty good, especially if it helps drive sells of your support equipment and machine shop work.
CD's don't even pull in that kind of return.

Personally, I think sells of a less expensive reproduction style block would outpace race blocks by a wide margin.
You'll always have one or two racers needing a race block, but you have many more scrounging for a rebuildable core for a street or cheaper bracket engine.
