The OP should read this: http://bikesmithdesign.com/Bent_Design.html

Most specifically this: http://bikesmithdesign.com/Design/12Steps.html

My thoughts are to:
Set head tube angle to set the desired amount of tiller.
Set rake to yield the desired amount of trail (not much on a LWB LCWW)
Fork axle to crown comes out in the wash.

A long, horizontal slotted end on a fork would have the very beneficial aspect of not messing with the head tube angle as you adjusted the rake (only).
