Need some measurements/advice on interior room

Hi all,

I visited Hurricane and got to measure the factory show car (the #98 car).  I am 6'6 and it was a terrible fit for leg room.  Head height was above the roll bar and window, but with removing padding, no tracks, etc, that is fixable.   This is an early car that does not have the wheel well depression in the tub that allows an inch or two more seat travel.

What I need is the measurements of a couple of newer cars in the following areas:

Please move seat all the way back if not already.
Measurements:
1) Face of clutch pedal to the seat back where it meets the seat bottom. (37.5" in the factory car)
2) Fire wall to the seat back as in #1. (45.5" in the factory car)
3) Width of foot box across the face of the pedals, wall to wall (14" in the factory car)

Questions:
Is the seat a stock style seat on tracks?
Is this a big block or small block footbox?
Do you have stock pedals?
Could the pedals be mounted closer to the firewall?How much?

Thanks in advance.

For reference, an ERA I measured with the pedals moved forward and stock seat was 44", 51", 14"...A ton more room.  I want to go Hurricane, but need to fit.

Mark,
 The number 98 car has a bigblock which gives you less legroom because it has the larger footbox cover.  The cars with the modified wheel well will give you about 2 inches of additional distance from the pedals.  Mine is a small block and has the smaller footbox giving me more leg room. However I am only 6 ft tall and can fit in the car ok. The seat sits on a track that is adjustable.
Good Luck!
