I don't have a picture handy, but here are some measurements.The hearth often needs to be extended when going to a hearth mount stove.For a hearth mount stove the main question is going to be whether the flue outlet on the stove will clear the top of the fireplace opening. This will depend on the hearth height. Pick out the stove first as hearth insulation requirements vary quite a bit between stoves. If you can post a picture a bit further back of the whole fireplace we may be able to make more suggestions.
It would appear that it is 41-3/4" from the wood floor in front of the hearth to the top edge of the fireplace opening and 52"from the wood floor to the top of the brick opening.
The brick opening is a little over 43" wide and 35" tall.
The Heatilator opening is 34" wide at the front and 20" tall in the front.
The firebox depth is 16 1/2" fron the heatilator doors to the rear.
The back width of the firebox is about 20".
The opening of the heatilator is about 4 3/4" above the hearth.
The width of the hearth is 122"
The hearth extends 24" from the front of the Heatilator to the front edge of the rock hearth
The top of the hearth front is 17" to the wood floor.
8" damper removed and a 6" SS liner installed to the existing insert.
