A couple of things that really help in this area.
Find the thinnest seat frame you can- either a Kirkey race style aluminum seat with just the cover will be pretty thin, or a fiberglass seat frame with most of the padding removed will save several inches.
The other route to take is to tilt the seat back a bit when mounting it. This will bring your head down a bit and also make the driving position a little more comfortable. I make a seat mounting plate that accomplishes this and it is easy to mount to the floor and the seat.
However, as tall as you are, your knees will probably still be hitting the bottom of the dash unless you can make adjustments in the dash. I would think the kits with aluminum dash pieces would be easiest to modify to raise the lower edge up a couple inches to make room for your knees.
Also, what size shoes do you wear? You may want to look into a kit or finished car that has the largest footboxes possible. Fitting even my size 10's in the foot box without hitting the wrong pedal at times can be a challenge. If your feet are bigger than that, you may want to find a way to enlarge the foot box and also wear driving shoes while driving the Cobra to make a little extra room.
Good luck, the search is half the fun sometimes-
