My thoughts are boxing the frame or strategic x-bracing below the sheet-metal would be preferred because even though a roll cage could help limit frame flex, it would do so @ the cost of reduced interior space.
Roll cages can also be a hazard in a mild crash if they're not properly built & occupants are not properly secured in place.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....
Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
