My Beloved had a Pitts S1 for a while; he is 6'4" and at least as heavy as you. We had to remove the seat cushion, put a soft cover on his headset and he wore a specific pair of shoes........

I do not have the W&B to hand, but Ultimate High have - "Bulldog Aircraft Limits: Weight limit* is 17 stone. Maximum height 6ft 5" so if you either lose the extra 9 or are careful on fuel and/or who you fly with you should be OK there.
