The fork needs to have a steerer tube that's long enough to accommodate the headset as well as fitting in the head tube. If not, you won't be able to have the fork properly secured to the bicycle, and you'll be riding a time-bomb, if you can put a stem and bars on it at all. The consensus is - it is doubtful that the steerer is long enough for the size of your head tube.
