Your main problems are : The bottom bracket, the diameter of the seat pin and the diameter and length of the head tube. The bottom bracket could have a different thread, the seat tube could be a different diameter ( the most common is 27.2mm). The head tube will be either 1" or 11/8" diameter and the forks may be threaded or threadless. The steerer tube may be too short or too long for the steel frame. If it is too short the fork will be useless, if it is too long it could be made to fit. There are a lot of things on modern bikes that can give you headaches when building them up. Good luck!
you would have to know if the bottom brackets fit and if you ahve the same dropouts on the back and fork and thats basically it
dont get a steel frame, it’s way heavier
