A couple of things to look at. As Sambo mentioned, the seats would be the first option for increasing cockpit space. I have MX5 seats and need them because I am not 6'2". But most seats from production vehicles could be changed out to improve space.

As far as the pedal box goes, it could be moved a little but there will be some issues with pushing the brake booster and MC too far forward. There's not much room to do this without cutting the inner guard, which is not a big deal. If you do want to go down this path, check to see if the floor on that side has been glued as well as riveted in. If it can be removed, it would be much easier to get access to the pedal box.

There have been a few cars (Harrison's and others) where the floor has been dropped fo fit larger feet and it will also lower your knees. You could also look to drop the seat a little.

Just some thoughts
