All Chrome fork for 27" wheel - Very Nice Shape
I took this fork off of an early sixties Torpado Professional. I have since installed a more appropriate for and this one, for 27" wheels, is in very good condition. The steering stem = 195mm with a 90mm threaded section.
Price: $40.00 US plus shipping cost.

Also suggest checking and listing the A/C. And rake if you want to deal with measuring. Seen those 27" forks range from 380mm-395mm or more in the couple months last year I spent hunting a replacement for a bike that was ~375mm stock. More rake and 380mm gave me +/- 2mm of height so no discernable diff. Sheldon Brown's site had a recommendation to stay +/-10mm with the same rake to not deviate too much from the original, hopefully horizontal top tube.

I had a not so good 700c fork with fender eyelets sawed off and decided to use that until I get the proper fork (if i ever do)...
There is a considerable difference between the fork lengths. I will get additional information, regarding both the 27 and 700c forks, and add tomorrow. Getting the information, at my place at night is difficult. My "man cave" really is (almost) a cave, The earth's crust actually makes up part of the floor in my shop...

Pedal to the medal
Also, what's the axle to crown distance. I'm considering this for a 650 conversion
