Well, the site appears to be 404. However, I found my hard-copy. So for anyone who cares. The weights of various engines are as follows:
Ford 289/302 - 460 lbs
Ford 351W - 525 lbs
Chev 283-350 - 575 lbs
Chev 427/454 - 620 lbs
Ford FE series - 625 lbs
Ford 429/460 - 720 lbs

Dimenesionally, the Ford big-blocks are about 3 inches wider, 5 inches longer, and 2 inches taller then the 289/302. Interestingly, the 351 is the same height as the big-blocks, the same length as the 289/302, and in-between on the width.
