road headset on mtb??

I have an old stumpjumper from the early 90s and i need a headset with a 27mm crown race. I have used used the Tange Levin CDS on many of my road bike builds and love it for its value and quality. Is there any reason this wouldnt work on a threaded 1 inch steel mtb frameset? I figure i better ask before i order. the frame had an old grease guard headset on it but it is shot. I suppose one difference that could get me is stack height. ill try and measure the old greaseguard one to make sure it isnt shorter than the Tange Levin prior to ordering.

Other than that, is there any reason a tange levin wouldnt work for a mtb build? It is listed as a road headset which is why i ask.
