you can easily extend a steerer tube on some forks.

halford used to have a convertor to make 1 inch threaded forks into 1-1/8th Aheadset forks.  it's like an extention thing so it would give you more length, then you could use any forks but you'd have to run an Aheadset type modern stem.  I guess not having period stem on this build wouldn't bother you though.......
