I'm 6'4" and only a bit lighter.  I found that if you re-drill the
mounting points for the seat tracks about 3.5" (maximum) aft of the
stock location, the seat track remains flat to the floor and the seat
back just buts up against the package shelf.  You can also fiddle with
the seat rake angle to maximize leg room.  If you try to move the eats
back any further, the seat tracks don't stay in contact with the floor
pan (or so I recall; this was accomplished about 25 years ago...)
