454 swap (frame ?s)

Ok this winter im gonna swap a 454 in my camaro. Its a 85 iroc. Im gonna be useing a built 10 bolt rear and a turbo 400 trans. The motor is gonna be mild stock internals with ported heads, big cam, lifters, pushrods, rocker arms all that good stuff. Will a roll cage be needed to keep the body from twisting from the torque?
A few ppl have been telling me i should but i though i would ask you guys.

Thanks
Jeremy

You will need a cage if you plan on running your car down the strip more than once. By the numbers I asume you are going for, without every safety thing on that car you won't be able to run many places.
