Thanks Wildwood. Doug, stay width measures about 115 rear and 98 front, fork from center brake hole to top of dropout slot 365mm. Drive side dropout on the rear is bent inwards a bit, which may have a bearing on the width or not, I measured where they join the stays. Also compared the fork side by side with a known 700c compatible fork, definitely longer. I have a set of GB brakes with sufficient range to go 27" or 700c.
