Wanted 26 or 27.5 sus fork, 1 1/8 straight steerer, thru axle

I am doing something similar to an old orange full squish, just overhauling a straight steerer Marzocchi 66 rcv 2011 and lowering it to 160mm and although not confirmed it should fit a 27.5 2.5 but will easily fit a 27.5 2.35 with loads of clearance , I think similar era 55s should also be the same plus similar era fox 36’s should easy fit 27.5 2.3s
I ve also heard of people filling out 66s as the lowers and arch are very beefy and can easily shave a few mill in the right places safely

I d might try and squeeze a 27.5 on the rear at some point but the front derailleur might not clear but I am excited to see if the 27.5 up front makes much difference in roll over down the tech stuff
 
I have a Rock Shox Rev in VGC, currently on my safire but i have just recently got a pair of SIDS, i think they are 140m of travel, straight steerer obviously and 15mm thru axle...
