"Is it possible to measure a chains length after it has been pulled from an engine to see if its worn?"

I was wondering that same thing. It seems to me I saw someplace where a chain was held "sideways" and the arc measured to determine wear. I bought a 616 engine off eBay and the chain shows very little stretch via timing & cam marks but I would like to check it out better.
I will post this question later on into the project if no one reading this thread knows.
