how does the 836 pounds compare to the big block and small block?

Big Block will weigh close to that prolly in the 500-600 pound range depending upon which motor and set up

What does "entire engine" mean?

Fully dressed with manifolds, turbo, and ALL accessories (dual or single alternators)????

Reason I ask is I have seen many quotes on SBC and BBC weights and "entire engine" to one person means block, intake, carb, and tins ONLY, while it means fully dressed (i.e. all the previous items stated, plus manifolds, accessories, brackets, belts, etc) to another.

Stock 455 Olds was 750ish IIRC, BBC was 850 or so....just the motor, no brackets or accessories installed.

Thank goodness for aluminum....
