You presume much. Inexpensive components but actually Moto made nice frames even at that level.

You have four choices:

Straighten fork if repairable (you did not say why you need to replace the fork).

Find a French-threaded fork, built for a 27" wheel, with a long enough fork column. Best if it comes with headset.

Replace fork and headset with standard threaded, as well as stem and bars (arguably way too expensive, unless it's all used parts).

Say goodbye to bike.
