80mm or 100mm travel rides nice. My son has a 100 mm on his hard tail, and I have an 80mm ready to go on my sweetspot frame. Just make sure it s an 1 1/8″ straight and isn’t a tapered steer tube.
You ever think about one of these?

That’s a sweet ride. If you replaced the chain recently, did you measure it against the old chain? If not , maybe the chain is too long.
The older SIDs are still one of the lightest forks out there and performs well especially if it is a dual air with a lock out. They aren’t difficult to rebuild either. Manuals are on-line. If you want a newer fork, you would have to find one with a straight, non tapered steer tube. I have an older Fox RLC on one of my bikes and it performs great.
If it is the bike pictured it is worth it. I would make a cash offer and see if he would come down a bit. Disc brakes would make it much sweeter. I paid $600 for an NOS frame a few years ago.
Is the Homegrown Factory top tube script white? It looks like white in the picture, but I have seen green script in the catalog.
You’re gonna drill the frame? Have you thought about hydraulic brake guides that screw into the cable guides on the top tube? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06WVHG64G/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A377L3CGYOW774
Nice, I just got a 97 BBB Sweetspot frame. Gotta re decal it and do a few touch ups. Looking to build it with mainly 9 speed XTR, and Mavic rims and XTR hubs. What rear shock are you running?
