Yup, you'll have to tweak the ht/bb lug, but it's the chainstay to seat tube angle I'm talking about...there isn't a lugged bb out there that will give you the 80mm drop that you want. The most you can usually get is 60, and that takes some pretty good socket bending.
FWIW, I would try to stay with the 80mm if possible...it's perfect for the type of bike you're building.
