machine work for that is pricey. You can order a crank from summit that will run you the same price as the machine work to fit the 400s crank in the 351w. The summit crank uses the stock windsor rods and pistons for a 302. Crank is $549...much cheaper and easier.

You need to grind the lip on the "snout" side of the crankshaft and mill the counterweights and notch the block. I always thought it would be awsome to stick a 400 crank and a pair of 4v cleveland heads on a windsor block. Kinda like a 400MCW

I would say the 400 crank would be good for 450-500 hp just like the windsor cranks, who knows.
Here is another link, the cranks are made by eagle, another one that is known to be comparable to the scat. ON this link they are $399

I would say your onto something though, let us know how that 426 comes along. good luck

This guy who has the crank builds motors for a living, has his own machine shop and is my best friend's bro-in-law. That may help. 
wonder what kind of heads I would need for something like this? would the 72 windsor heads be good enuf?

Any head will work. 
There are three common factory heads around, the E7TE good ,the 72 model or D0OE same thing better, gt-40/gt-40p best.
Why not make the motor completely reworked, get a set of 4v cleveland heads have them reworked to work on the windsor block, get the intake that will allow it to work, and then you could say you have a completely stock modified motor.
Seriously you might consider some of the larger aftermarket heads for that thing, then you will be making all kinds of hp and tq. Well if your best friends brother-in-law will help you out, go for it.
Here is a link to different heads and how they flow, stock and aftermarket.
