Bone stock, they are within 10 lbs. or so of one another, with the 460 being lighter.
BUT, anyone that builds an FE now-a-days for a Cobra shaves a lot of weight off with just an aluminum intake, heads, water pump, etc. My FE is within 50 lbs. of an original 289 and it still has an iron block.
Carefully constructed aftermarket aluminum block FE engines will get you down in to small block numbers.
EDIT -- Here's a chart of various engine weights:
