Pull out the headliner and see if you have braces that run from side to side of the roof. If you do, you should be able to fabricate a mounting system that will use those existing braces to carry most of the weight. You may also find that you want to weld in some more braces. Other than that, it shouldn't be too difficult to mount your rack to the roof, you could probably get by with 3/8 or 7/16" bolts with large fender washers to help distribute the weight to the roof bracing.

If it dont fit, force it... if it breaks, it needed to be replaced anyway...

Just for the sake of stability, I would try to brace it to the floor on the sides of the windows.. if you can and have it fit your install. If not, I would make sure to shore up the roof with sound-deadening and/or fiberglass so it doesn't resonate much...
