That make sense?
The cab is going to want to flex vs. the frame w/the standard bushings. But you want to tie the rear portion 'fixed/solid' mounted to the frame. I don't see that working well. You're likely going to need to swap to solid cab mounts.

A roll-bar for roll-over protection (cab roof caving in) & harness anchors can be attached to plates welded to the floor & function in that described manor. If you want to pass bars through the cab wall, all anchor points need to match.

How dead-set are you on the 'pass-through' bars to the rear frame section?

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.
