This is sounding like a fun project bike. Do you have a disc compatible CX fork or something? I think a 26" MTB wheel should fit in there, the OD of the tire is comparable between the two. The clearance on either side of the tire will be the limiting factor- it could limit your tire choice to something on the smaller end of the width spectrum. On my CX forks, (kinisis and redline aluminum) it would work, except the canti stud location-some carbon forks look a little tighter though.
I need to resurect my SS/fixed MTB. It's been canabalized for spare parts-it looks at me like a beaten dog when I walk past it. So many bicycles.....
