Got an old engine block you can set it in?

Or take a couple 2X6's and hack some notches in it so you can spin the crankshaft. kinda like this.



Take a coat hanger and cut it and make a hook for one of the rod journals. Lay the long part of the coat hanger on the bench. Or the block edge.

Spin the crankshaft untill the coat hanger stops moving in one direction. Mark it with a felt tip marker.

Spin the crank 180 degrees, 'till it stops moving again. Again, mark the coat hanger. The distance between your marks will be your stroke.

Have a beer.

Do cranks not get a part number to identify them?

I'm thinking it's Lunati as well. They are the only crank manufacturer I can recall that does a radius where they drill, like on that first counterweight.

That looks like a pretty nice crank but I don't know who makes it. I don't think it's a Lunati as they stamp the part # on the first counterweight. I also don't remember Lunati stamping the bobweight but the machine shop could have done that. Whoever did it cared enough to do it straight.
