I suppose i could test the resistance of the windings, and then check the volt drop when its starting and calculate the current drawn that way.

It does not work like that, you will find that measuring winding resistance it will be pretty much zero. It's the inductive and to some degree capacitative resistance that make up total resistance when turning. And any way it will be very low if you consider that to get 400A with 12v you need total resistance of 0.03ohm. Yo cannot directly and precisely measure resistance this low with off the shelf multimeter.
