Use a micrometer and measure the journals, both the mains and rods. Then measure from outside the main to outside of one of the rod journal. Take that measurement and suctract it by 1/2 of the main and rod journal size and that should give you your stroke. What does the parting line look like? Is it smooth or kinda rigid? Pictures would really help.
