Yes, unfortunately you're going to have to find a touring bike frame, or one that's designed to take 27" wheels. Most old road bike frames can only take up to 25 or 28 width.
If you were going to get the frame refinished, this one that I have for sale has great clearances and would do the job:

Thanks, think I'll regret it if I don't get something with more clearance. The Jack Taylor is a dream but it would be puppy killing to set it up with the build I have in mind.
