need advise on chassis strengthening

hey guys i picked up another iroc-z this one is an 86 t-top and was wondering what can i do to the chassis to make the car capable of handleling gobbs of torque as 678 ft-lbs to be exact :P and do far we dont realy want to put a cage as the car will have a back seat and get used on ocasions so far i have comp engeneering weld in sub frame connectors and was wonder what more should i add to not destroy the body as its very straight and has never been in a accident....

t-top car....well i'd say a 10 point cage and no back seat. Otherwise deal with the cracks that will come from having a large HP motor and no bracing along the pillars on the body.
