Not a 460 but on other engines, I get them at the hardware store. Take your old bolts and match them up. Grade 5 or grade 8 should be fine.

^ That is what I do also. Try finding a set of exhaust manifold bolts ANYWHERE.

Obsolete Exhaust Manifold Bolts

I supposedly purchased the last set of bolts for the 460 from Ford. They wanted almost $20 a bolt. Bolts cost more than both exhaust manifolds. I took those bolts to a local fastener warehouse that had isles and isles of bolts. I matched them up with grade 8 bolts as closely as I could and returned the rest to Ford. I ended up using Fords studs where needed at $20 each.
