I’ve found the Trek forks to be pretty accurate, of the few I measured. But if this 760 is actually made of 531P (very thin-wall tubes) it is probably seriously intended for racing, and hence should have rather tight wheel clearances. Not sure it can readily be made into anything that isn’t also racy.
