Gotta few buddies who are 6'5" who fit in SPFs and ERAs with mods mentioned. Others have ended up with modified Classic Productions or other 94" extended models who did not want to try and make a 90" wb work. The issue I've seen is torso height, where your legs fit but on the top half you end up eating bugs with you face above the windshield. Take a look at depth and body height as well. If you look at an SPF, the whole cowl section is raised with a tad more room than other cars.

For any of the 90" wheelbase cars being considered, and if you go new-build, what you might consider is contacting and asking each of the manufacturers if they will make you a "big boy model" setup. Unique Motorcars Ltd. in Gadsen Alabama use to do this as an option a while back but I dont know if they do it any more. Several sports folks have bought Uniques for this option. Maybe you can call them and see.
