If I'm understanding you, then your fork will not have a long enough steerer to accomplish your goal. You'll need a new fork.
Your question is not really a headset question, it's the fitting of an (improperly sized)/overlength fork to a frame.
There's a long quill Nitto stem (see post #7) available to raise your handlebars.
