I'm 6'3", 205lbs, 36" inseam. So you have me by one inch!
What I did was remove the adjustable seat rails and fabbed a bracket from flat steel stock (EDIT: The floor board bolt holes on the adjustable brackets do not line-up with where they mount to the bottom of the seat. Hence, you have to fab a flat bracket to allow for this adjustment...no big deal). Then bolted the seat directly to the floor and as far back as I could, with a slight rake upward (higher in the front, using washers as shims). The rake will give you more leg room. Also, if you can live without the wood steering wheel you can add a three-spoke leather-wrapped one that is one inch smaller in diameter. That helps, too.
These cars (Cobras in general) are tight any which way you look at it, but the above mods in an SPF make the car very drivable and a lot of fun. Check out my gallery and I think there is one pic of me in there barreling down the freeway. You can see I'm in there quite comfortably.
