By an 8-point cage I guess you mean the 4 main uprights, 2 kickers to the back of the car and 2 out the front. I've only done them in stock cars, one was a '69 Nova.

It was a pile of work. The rear of the main cage will be welded to the floor pan unless you do sub frame connectors and attach to them, which I recommend. The same goes with the bars in the trunk. The best way to attach them is to weld in a piece of 3/16 or 1/4" steel plate and weld the bars to that.

The rest can go to the front sub frame, but you'll have to chop up the floor to do them right. Overall, unless you have a tube bender, TIG or MIG welder and mucho fabricating equipment, pay someone else to do it, especially if you take it to the track.
