Build your wheel first, with the chosen hub. Put the frame in a stand,
dropouts pointing toward the sky. Put your wheel in your chosen frame.

Run a string parallel to the rear sprocket (if you have a long enough straight
edge, use that) up to where the chainwheel ought to be.Tie the string off
so you can measure your total distance between string and BB shell edge.

This gives you a rough idea of how much space your assembly ought to
take up. Take your crankset to someplace that has a lot of different BB's
and find the one that seems to work best when assembled to take up
the same space.

Like reddog has stated, I don't think there's away to find the specs for
your application of this particular crank. The Phil Wood BB's (and some
others) allow for a 4-5mm adjustment for chain line because of the design
of the cups (no shoulder to bottom against the shell).

Something like that might be your best bet for this.
