A roll bar and possibly even roll cage (been awhile since I’ve looked) can be bolted in to facilitate removing the body from the frame. Also sections of the roll cage can be removable for access, like the front down tubes in the engine compartment. Pretty sure rules for flange thickness and hardware diameter are somewhere in there. There’s also a performance limit to bolt in bars and cages, go fast enough and it’s gotta be welded in.

In your case you’d still need to weld outriggers to the frame. Then add tube on top of the outrigger (a riser) to put a flange at the bottom of the floor. Put a flange on the inside of the floor and have your bar on top of it. Oh and leave enough space for 4 bolts to go through the flange around the bar. I’m not sure if it would be legal to have the flange at the outriggers with a riser on top of it, you always see the flanges sandwich the floor pan.
