You will have just about the same hassles with a Windsor-based small block.

Agreed, except one part:
I understand that you need a new bellhousing, custom headers, motor mounts, and you may need to slide the ZF back just to fit that big-block motor & have room for the front-of-engine stuff, not to mention the usual stuff as on the windsor. It seems like a 460-based motor is more work than a windsor to me, but I'm not an expert by any stretch of the imagination.
In the "Ford stroker with all Ford parts" thread, I likened the 400 to the windsor swap (in a way), so I am agreeing with you there.
